The Cambridge Treet Trust is a non-profit volunteer organisation dedicated to keeping Cambridge beautiful. The aim of the trust is to plant and maintain trees in and around Cambridge in order to enhance the approaches to the town, protect the environment and keep alive the image of Cambridge as the Town of Trees.

The trust is also involved in building new walkways, encouraging native birds to town and teaching local children how to care for the environment through lessons at the Nursery and Education centre. Plantings along all our town walkways include many different berry and nectar trees, to encourage native birds to come here and to stay here.
