When a group of Hackney locals discover that a property developer has been granted permission by the Council to fell a huge, much-loved 150-year-old street tree which even has its own name, The Happy Man Tree, they do everything they can to try to save it.

This thought-provoking film exploring trees, nature and our relationship with the urban environment. Following the screening there will be a Q&A with members of the Notice This Tree campaign.

Big Vauxhall Tree Week (10–17 May)
This event is part of Big Vauxhall Tree Week, which celebrates the trees, wildlife and green spaces that shape this unique London neighbourhood.

Across the week, local organisations, artists and environmental experts come together for a programme of walks, talks, creative workshops and wildlife events exploring Vauxhall’s urban nature. From bat walks and tree tours to sketching sessions and a special film screening, the week culminates in the vibrant Vauxhall May Fair in Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens — a weekend of plants, performances and family-friendly activities.

All events are offered free of charge, but if you are in a position to do so please consider a small donation to Trees for Cities – a charity working to improve lives by planting trees in cities.
