The Forestry Commission are offering Tree-planting grants. For information on how to claim and what is involved there is a website with more information.
The next round of grants will be given out in September and it would be good to see as many applications from Cambridge City as possible - people are clearly passionate about trees and this is an opportunity, in conjunction with local groups, to make our area of Cambridge a little greener!
If you'd like to be involved please contact one of the team and, if we can get enough people, we'll coordinate the application.

The council should give permission for trees to be planted pro-activly. This would cost the council nothing.
People could then raise the money and actually do the planting themselves. (Or apply to schemes like this one)
Councillors ought realise there main power comes not in spending money, but in things like simply giving permission for things to go ahead - they should do more of that.
I agree with Richard. I am currently visiting Berlin, and the 'greenness' of the city streets makes Cambridge look poorly served outside of the established green spaces.
