New trees on Beacon Park Road

Plymouth Tree People (PTP) recently completed an exciting project to replace street trees on Beacon Park Road.

With the support of Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest, PTP were able to plant 16 new trees, replacing ones which will have stood on the avenue.

This is the first of our more complex projects, replacing street trees, which need detailed planning, close consultation with residents and stringent approval processes, as well as more demanding aftercare requirements. The first of two ‘case-study’ projects, the second being on Wilton Street. The projects have not only replaced missing street trees but also capture and cost the stages involved so that similar projects can be delivered with confidence. It’s a major step towards conserving Plymouth’s tree-lined streets!  

The projects are being coordinated by James Brown, a chartered landscape architect who is used to managing community projects from his time at Groundwork.
