Tree and bulb planting on Clapham Common

Friends of Clapham Common are fundraising in order to plant more trees and bulbs on Clapham Common. We partner with CCMAC (Clapham Common Management Advisory Committee).

Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.



The idea

Clapham Common is a hugely valuable recreational space for South Londoners.

Trees on the Common provide valuable habitats for wildlife, shade for park users, and purify car exhaust fumes from the air.

What we'll deliver

  • Purchase and plant bulbs, such as daffodils
  • Purchase and plant new trees

Why it's a great idea

There is scope to boost the density of tree planting on Clapham Common. These trees will assist with detoxifying car fumes rising from the South Circular road, and provide a 'skyscraper; habitat for a range of wildlife.

Bulb plantings will enhance the colour and beauty experienced by users of the Common during the spring and winter.

Steps to get it done

  • At least 10 trees and 50 bulbs planted. (We hope to do a lot more.)
