Over the next six months, thousands of new trees will be planted at more than 150 different locations across Cardiff.
The trees will be planted with the help of an army of volunteers at more than 60 community tree planting events as part of Cardiff Council's Coed Caerdydd project to increase tree canopy cover in the city from 18.9 per cent to 25 per cent.
The majority of the trees will be native species such as Oak, Birch, Rowan and Alder but some ornamental trees, selected for their ability to withstand the impacts of climate change, will also be planted.
