The Urban Tree Manual (The Right Tree in the Right Place for a Resilient Future)

Summary

The Urban Tree Manual (The Right Tree in the Right Place for a Resilient Future) has been developed by the Forestry Commission and Forest Research to provide advice on selecting and procuring the right tree for the right place in urban areas. It also highlights long term issues of the threats to existing trees from pests, disease, and climate change, and describes the benefits to the environment and for well-being that urban trees can provide. It emphasises the importance of choosing native species to support biodiversity.
