@CamCitCo urban forestry initiative. Part of Nature Smart Cities across the 2 Seas & @Interreg2Seas. Green infrastructure solutions to combat climate change.
And of course the biggest thanks must go the residents of Cambridge who participated in many of the projects activities and schemes and without whom the City’s urban forest would be all the more poorer. Keep on planting and caring for those trees. 4/5
We would like to thank our partners in the Nature Smart Cities across the 2 Seas project https://t.co/fUB47ekBAt , which also finishes today for all their support. 2/5
@Sam_in_Cam @ChrisHowellCam Sorry to hear that 6 of our trees failed despite the community's generous interventions. We had a 15% failure rate of trees planted in Trumpington in 21/22 overall and a cyclical approach to tree planting to ensure all failed trees, where appropriate are identified and replaced.

With @UNBiodiversity summit #COP15 officially underway in Montreal, you'll be hearing buzzwords such as "biodiversity" and "#biodiversityloss" a lot. What does it mean? Why does it matter? We explain. 👀👇
The Toronto District School Board has committed significant resources to tree planting and maintenance because the return on investment is clear. A study of 387 TDSB schools found significant correlations between tree canopy and student performance. https://t.co/x31x264clk
The Giant Redwood (Sequoiadendron giganteum) is our December #TreeoftheMonth. These tall evergreen conifers can reach over 80 metres in their native California. Our #AlexandraPark@FriendsAllyPark tree is just 26 metres with a smaller partner nearby. #HaringeyFavouriteTrees
It's the end of #NationalTreeWeek 💚 We hope you learnt something new about urban trees and celebrated how they make our towns and cities healthier and greener places to live!
Urban trees are vital in looking after humans, animals and the planet so let's plant more!!! 🤗
📈 Emissions are rising
⏰ Time is running out
☀️ We must scale up climate solutions
According to the latest report by the #IPCC, polluting fossil fuels are causing climate change. Now that we have the solutions, we need to scale them up quickly. #COP15#ForNature

By leaving deadwood in community spaces and woods, land managers & councils can provide homes for all sorts of insects, mosses, fungi & lichens, as well as vital bird & bat nesting sites. It's also easy climate action, as deadwood locks up carbon for years!
