Tree and Woodland Strategies SPG

The Tree and Woodland Strategies SPG is a joint publication with the Forestry Commission. It sets out an approach to trees and woodland that:

• Covers the audit, protection and management on trees and woodland in line with Policy 7.21 of the London Plan
• Highlights the asset value of trees and woodland, both in financial terms and the broad range of economic and environmental benefits they provide.
• Considers all the trees in a borough as a single unified resource – an ‘urban forest’.
• Extends the concept of an ‘urban forest’ across boundaries so that the cumulative benefits of trees to Londoners can be enhanced.
• Takes a step by step approach to the management of trees and woodland.

It is available in pdf and rtf (text only) files to download below.

The consultation period runs from 30 January to 23 April 2012. To make comments on the document please email treestrategy@london.gov.uk or write to:
