As we passed the Autumn Equinox on 22nd September, right on cue the trees on Olympic Way have started to display their Autumn foliage.

As part of The 2025 Urban Tree Festival - 10th - 18th May 2025 - you can discover urban tree planting and maintenance challenges on a grand scale in Wembley Park, on this popular walk and talk with Julian Tollast, Head of Masterplanning and Design at Quintain.

"One of the most iconic indicators that spring is here in the UK - blossoming trees! They treat us to a beautiful display of soft pink and white flowers in towns and cities and mark the start of the season. But why aren’t we treated to these pastel pinks and creamy white blossoms all year round? Let's dive into some of the reasons why."

Trees for Cities is calling on members of the public to pick a tree in your town or city and document it throughout the year. For just 10 minutes every few months, you can grow your connection to urban trees, and help us gain a deeper understanding of people’s relationship to urban nature.
