Abstract

The Big Tree Plant was a national campaign that brought together a partnership of national organisations who already plant trees, as well as civic and community groups working with Defra and the Forestry Commission. It was launched in December 2010 to increase the number of trees (individual, small groups, street trees and fruit trees) planted in towns, cities and neighbourhoods throughout England. The scheme encouraged and supported people to establish, protect and enhance local green spaces. The Big Tree Plant was supported by a Forestry Commission funding scheme, giving up to £4 million in grants (2011 to 2015) to help pay for the planting of at least one million new trees in urban areas. It aimed to make neighbourhoods more attractive, healthy places to live; particularly in areas of greatest deprivation and/or where there is little greenery. The data is sourced from Groundwork London, the grant administration contractor, and shows the location of each tree planting site. X and Y coordinates were derived from the postcode of each site. 93 of the 4231 site records had been given an invalid postcodes, so the x and y coordinates are 0,0 for those records.
