We have to protect our urban tree coverage - planting trees in our gardens, adding native pollinators to our nature strips, supporting local government in advocating for more sensible powerline clearing policies. More on our info page: lighterfootprints.org/urban-forests/
30% is an arboricultural magic number - 30% tree cover is associated with major cultural and health benefits and this is the best coverage for property values. 30% cover should be our planning target #urbanforests
