2050 Urban Forest Strategy - Our vision for all our trees and woodlands

Consultation has concluded

Our draft Urban Forest Strategy has been shaped by engagement with residents and key stakeholders and developed by a working group involving key council services and partners. It provides a vision, key guiding principles and priorities for action to ensure that the decisions we make allow for all residents, visitors, and businesses in our conurbation to get the most from trees both now and in the future.

The draft strategy underpins the need to care, support and invest in our trees. This is needed throughout our diverse network of streets, parks, and council-owned green spaces. It is also important to recognise the impact we can all make as individuals, by planting, nurturing, and protecting trees. It also acknowledges the significant role BCP Council, and its partners, will play over the coming years, and proposes the creation of the BCP Tree Charter, where everyone can play a key role.
