Let’s make Eastleigh
a leafier place to live

We’re aiming to have 160,000 more trees in Eastleigh Borough by the year 2030.

As part of Eastleigh Borough Council’s plan to tackle the climate and environmental emergency, we have announced our most ambitious tree planting target ever; 160,000 more trees will mean an additional tree for every person living in the Borough by the year 2030.

But we can’t achieve this target alone. We need the support of our local businesses, community organisations and residents to make Eastleigh a leafier place to live.

Hear more from Cllr Kyrle, Eastleigh Borough Council’s Cabinet member for the Environment.

Sponsor a tree

We want everyone in our community to get involved in this exciting project. You can help to establish or expand an area of woodland in the Borough for current and future generations to enjoy by sponsoring a tree.

What we’re doing

From our innovative council-run tree nursery in Horton Heath to our robust tree protection policies for developers, we’re sowing the seeds for a greener future.
