The Trees and Design Action Group is a world first
A pioneering group of individuals, professionals and organisations from both the private and public sectors who have come together to increase awareness of the role of trees in the built environment.
Why a Trees and Design Action Group?
Studies have shown that in urban areas all over England our trees are under threat, particularly from new building development. Yet trees should be a key part of infrastructure planning and need to be given equal weight and value to grey infrastructure elements.
The Group shares the collective vision that the location of trees, and all the benefits they bring, can be secured for future generations by influencing the planning, design, construction and management of our urban infrastructure and spaces.
The best friend of man is the tree. When we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources on the earth
