Summary
The Trees in Towns II report assesses the
effectiveness of tree management in urban areas in England. It
identifies changes since earlier surveys, including Trees
in Towns published in 1993. The executive summary of the
report includes information on the quality and quantity of
trees; local authority resources and practices in managing
urban trees; and the recruitment and skills of local authority
tree managers.
The report and wealth of data behind it will be valuable to
those engaged in establishing policies and setting appropriate
levels of resource to plan, develop, and manage robust urban
tree populations.

innovative practice and a mapping tool with tree survey
data.

Government.
