In line with our 2023 Greening Strategy, we want Portsmouth to be a green and healthy city where all our residents can easily spend time in nature-rich green spaces. We want networks of nature-rich green spaces and places across Portsmouth that provide cooling on hotter days and help reduce flooding.
These nature-rich green spaces will improve air quality and enable wildlife to move across the city more easily. A green and nature-rich city will enhance our everyday moments as we all notice nature and look to spend more time outside. As a result, the physical and mental health and wellbeing of all those living and working in Portsmouth will be improved.
To achieve this, we all need to take action.
To help Portsmouth to become a nature‑positive city and to celebrate Portsmouth 100, we’re working with Hilliers to offer discounted trees for residents to plant in their gardens. If you live in Portsmouth (PO1 to PO6) or are a council housing tenant, you can complete our online form to buy a tree. Read more about the offer to plant a discounted tree.
