Abercorn Crescent Street Trees

In January 2025 we planted 12 new street trees along the east end of Abercorn Crescent in Willowbrae, Edinburgh. This project is part of the Edinburgh Million Tree City initiative. This project was made possible with support from the City of Edinburgh Council, Northfield and Willowbrae Community Council, Abercorn Sports Club and the local community who kindly donated and helped us plant the trees. Thank you everyone!

Tree Time relies on donations to plant street trees across the Edinburgh and the Lothians and we are very grateful to everyone who helped make this project a reality. We raised enough funds to plant 12 out of a possible 31 trees on Abercorn Crescent, and we hope to get enough support to finish planting the remaining trees in the near future.

Help us plant more street trees

All Tree Time donations go towards planting new street trees. The more donations we raise, the more trees we can plant, so please consider donating today if you can. If you wish to pay for a new tree, every donation of £650 will enable us to plant one additional tree. This pays for the tree itself, a protective guard, planting costs, as well as ongoing watering and maintenance.

Benefits of street trees

Street trees in urban areas offer so many benefits, such as:

• Mitigating the harmful effects of climate change
• Removing carbon and other pollutants
• Reducing flood risk
• Providing wildlife habitat
• Making our streets more beautiful
• Increasing the value of property on the street

We are very grateful for your support in helping us plant more trees across Edinburgh, East Lothian and West Lothian. If you know of a street that you think would benefit from tree planting in these areas, please get in touch at treetime@elgt.org.uk.

Thank you to everyone who came out to help us plant the Abercorn Crescent street trees!
