Tree Selection for Green Infrastructure

Andrew Hirons

The purpose of this seminar
Trees enrich our lives. They make positive contributions to many aspects of our urban environment and those that encounter them.  Well-managed trees within our green infrastructure are also strategically important for meeting many future challenges. However, if trees are to become appreciating assets, it is vital to make appropriate species selection for any given location.
This seminar introduces new guidance on tree selection for those engaged with green infrastructure projects and explores some key strategic issues for those involved with establishing the urban forest.
Who should attend this seminar?
All those engaged in the built environment and its green infrastructure including: design professionals, developers, planners, natural environment specialists and health professionals who recognize the value of a healthy and resilient urban forest.
