There's been a long, fine history of arboriculture and tree care and tree management in an urban setting, but now we have to deal with a lot of other complexities, some is about managing existing tree stocks but some of it is about planning for the future. The green things shouldn't be what's just left over. It's a vital part of the city and it's at risk of being lost.

With climate change, we know we are going to get three, four degrees increased temperatures minimum on average, which means a lot more heat waves, about the only low-cost way to deal with that is increasing and improving a healthy canopy of trees because they reduce temperatures and the urban heat island effect.
