Efforts to plant more trees in cities could be boosted thanks to a new tool for planners and community groups, published by an international group of researchers.
Residents, policymakers and tree-officers in Cardiff, Milton Keynes, Edinburgh, York and Camden worked with academics to develop new advice to grow trees in a way that benefits both people and nature.
Trees in urban areas are increasingly recognised as important for tackling climate change, improving biodiversity, and supporting health and wellbeing.
They also help cities adapt to rising temperatures: providing shade and reducing exposure to extreme heat.
