Tree project seeks to return town’s greenery

“Tranent currently has one of the lowest levels of tree cover in East Lothian and I’m sure this community-led scheme will bring about much-needed improvement, especially in residential areas.

“Trees can provide many health benefits, including better air quality and reduced stress levels. I believe Tranent Tree Town will create a model which can be rolled out across other communities in the county which are also in need of greater urban tree canopy cover.”
