Trees, People and the Built Environment II built on the inaugural international research conference of the same name, held in the UK in 2011. It was again hosted by the Institute of Chartered Foresters on behalf of a Conference Steering Group representing many of the relevant professional bodies concerned with urban trees and the built environment.
In the intervening three years, urban trees and woodlands have come up government and local agendas. Our urban forests, the trees and woodlands in and around our towns and cities, provide numerous environmental, economic and social benefits. As concern grows about the sustainability of our urban environments, the importance of protecting and expanding our urban forests can only increase. Whatever our discipline, we can only do this by working more closely together Ð as these papers confirm.
These conference proceedings are, therefore, expected to make a significant contribution to the literature on urban forestry and urban greening.
