This is the total tree population within an area, influenced and used by an urban population.

This includes woodlands, street trees, landscape trees or individual trees and groups of trees in parks and gardens.

Further information

The Department for Communities and Local Government report, Trees in Towns II (pdf), was published in February 2008 and assesses the effectiveness of tree management in urban areas in England.

It provides information on the quality and quantity of trees; local authority resources and practices in managing urban trees; and the recruitment and skills of local authority tree managers.
