Urban Forests for All: An approach to designing and advancing fairer urban forests
Join us for the launch of our Urban Forest Accelerator resources and learn how sustainable urban forests can become a reality in towns and cities around the UK
A single tree is home to a whole ecosystem. Imagine the life that can be found in a whole forest! Urban forests can be havens to plants, animals, and people in the bustle of a busy city. Join National Trust, Woodland Trust, and Community Forest Trust to learn how to develop and manage beautiful, sustainable spaces for the whole community.
This event will be split into three parts; join us for all of them, or dip in and out as you prefer.
Keynote : Dr. Cecil Konijnendijk at the Nature Based Solutions Institute
1.30pm-2pm : Preparing your organisation
In conversation with Simon Needle (Birmingham City Council) and Anne Jaluzot (London Urban Forest Plan Coordinator)
2.15pm-3pm : Tree equity and communities pane
Discussion between Katy Hawkins (Birmingham Tree People), Beth Collier (Wild in the City) and Charles Campion (JTP)
Chaired by Jess Thompson (City of Trees)
3pm-3.50pm : Funding the urban forest
Presentations from Elizabeth Beall (Finance Earth), Kat Deeney (Plymouth City Council) and John Rose (Treeconomics) followed by Q&A.
This event is also celebrating the launch of our Urban Forest Accelerator resources, a comprehensive and accessible guide designed to support you throughout your journey.
It will be presented by the Urban Forest Accelerator partnership, funded by the Trees Call to Action Fund. The fund was developed by Defra in partnership with the Forestry Commission and is being delivered by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Accessibility information
Closed captions will be turned on for this event.
There will be short breaks between each of the three sessions, but please do dip in and out as you need to. The session will be recorded and sent to all participants after the event. (Please allow up to 2 weeks for this)
We will be using a Miro board as part of this webinar; you might find it easier to use two screens if that is available to you. The Miro link will be shared in the Zoom chat on the day.
