Thousands of new trees are to be planted across Cardiff in a bid to improve the city's air quality. The trees will be planted at more than 150 locations across the capital over the next six months including residential streets, schools, parks, and other green spaces.
They will form part of Cardiff Council's Coed Caerdydd project, a 10-year programme which aims to increase tree canopy cover in the city from 18.9% to 25 % and support its One Planet climate change strategy.

An army of volunteers is expected to help plant the trees at more than 60 community tree-planting events across Cardiff with the first taking place in Adamsdown on November 7. The majority of the planting locations have been suggested by members of the public and community groups as well as local councillors.
