The Trees and Design Action Group (TDAG), brings together individuals, professionals, academics and organisations from wide ranging disciplines in both the public and private sectors to improve knowledge and good practice to support the role of urban trees through better collaboration in the planning, design, construction and management and maintenance of our urban places. We run free to attend online seminars - see 'Events'.

This includes TDAG events and activities; events organised by others and an extensive list of new publications and research. We would like to encourage more research dissemination and so are introducing a ‘Research Round-up – Implications for practitioners’ inviting researchers to tell us about their completed projects and why they are relevant for practitioners working with trees. Please submit a short outline here.
