A Tree and Woodland Framework for London

People in the shade of a tree

The Mayor of London, the GLA, the Forestry Commission and other partners are firmly committed to maintaining and enhancing London’s trees and woodland as a vital part of the environment of Greater London.

The Mayor's London Tree and Woodland Framework (published March 2005) outlines the benefits of trees and woodlands, and tells us what we should do to maximise their contribution to London’s quality of life. The full Framework document and an eight-page introductory leaflet are available to download:

The Mayor and the Forestry Commission have appointed a Framework Manager (hosted by the Forestry Commission) to deliver the objectives and actions in the Framework. The Framework Manager’s contact details, and some of the achievements so far are highlighted on the Framework Initiatives page.

Many organisations are working on projects to protect or promote trees. Highlights of some projects and links to partners’ websites are available on the Partners and Projects page
