London Urban Forest Resource Hub: publication library

Search and filter publications, strategies, guidance and research on London's urban forest.

Key resources from London Urban Forest Partnership (LUFP) members have been selected to cover the interests and questions of both professionals and the public. 

The Hub is by no means exhaustive but some publications have been included from members outside of the LUFP where the findings or guidance are transferable to London. It’s hoped that other urban forests will find the resources useful too.
