Government encourages more trees in town
Posted by volresource on February 18, 2008
Malvern town and district councillors and council staff might like to take a read of the following item (via 24dash news agency based in Hereford):
“The largest ever survey of urban trees in England, published today, will reveal that although national tree health has improved markedly since the last survey in 1992, with trees being maintained much more regularly by councils, there has been a decline in the number of older trees in towns and cities and overall planting rates of new trees has fallen. “
And here’s the link the publication Trees in Towns II, plus DCLG’s wider info on Tree Preservation Orders etc.
