Life at City of Trees
We might be biased, but we think we’re pretty lucky, we truly believe it’s our people that make City of Trees. We work hard to create an environment in which everyone feels supported to be themselves, do their best work and have some fun while doing it.
We like to spend time together outside of the office. From regular team planting days, to our team away days exploring the Peaks. It’s so important to us that we take this time together in nature, and not just getting our hands dirty planting!
