UK LAW firm BDB Pitmans has announced that it is collaborating with Ethical Reading by joining its Trees ofr Reading initiative.

With support from Reading Borough Council and Reading Tree Wardens, the initiative offers organisations the opportunity to fund the planting and care of trees, contributing to the ecology of Reading.

The initiative aims to introduce more trees in built-up and developed areas, which not only improves the mental and physical wellbeing of residents, but also contributes to tackling pollution.

They support the absorption of carbon dioxide, which improves air quality and contributes to tackling effects of climate change.

They also contribute to the building of new habitats for wildlife.

BDB Pitmans have so far funded the planting of two Maidenhair trees– one at Henley Road Cemetery and one at Redlands Primary School– two river birches at County Lock, and a Swedish Whitebeam in Kensington Road Recreation Ground.They have also funded two ornamental Pear trees, one of which has been placed close to their Reading Office, and one on Bennet Road.

Andrew Smith, Managing Partner at BDB Pitmans commented: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to give back to the local community as part of the Trees for Reading initiative, continuing our mission to ‘build better’ by enhancing the environment and taking steps to support the wellbeing of Reading’s residents.

“Funding the planting of these trees allows us to play a small part in making the town greener, healthier and happier as well as creating a lasting legacy for the future.”

Kathryn McCann, Trees for Reading lead at Ethical Reading, said: “We’re grateful to BDB Pitmans for not only agreeing to join Ethical Reading as a Partner but also making such a generous contribution to our tree-planting initiative at the same time.

“These trees have been added in locations badly in need of more canopy cover and will make a significant difference to the way the areas look and feel, as well as well as helping to improve air quality and providing habitats for wildlife.”
