About Us
We are a collective project, founded in Glasgow, gathering and sharing stories about trees in word, song, image, video and more. A partnership between Strathclyde University, Glasgow City Council, and other friends, “Every Tree” supports story telling in partnership with schools, communities, artists, activists, walkers, scientists and policy makers.
The city is the leading steward of our trees, but all of us have a story to tell and a role to play in helping trees to help Glasgow. Share your tree story with us here, or on social media.
