Towns and cities are where most of us live, work and play, and
although we recognize the value of the trees standing on the
corner, or in the park, or framing the cathedral, most of us are
unaware that they are a vital part of our urban life-support
system. Discusses what trees do for us, and traces the development
of urban trees in Britain. Considers all aspects of the damaging
impact of urban conditions on trees. Examines urban tree management
with reference to basic principles, planning tools, species
selection, and site evaluation and modification. Analyses the
planting of trees in towns and cities, pruning methods, the
establishment and maintenance of urban trees, and inspection,
monitoring and assessment procedures. Covers tree management on
streets and highways, parks, woods and other public locations, as
well as in private places including homes, offices, factories and
wildlife conservation sites. Summarizes the law in the UK as it
relates to trees. Briefly outlines the impact of climate change on
trees in urban areas and on arboriculture in general. This
invaluable book is essential reading for all those who wish to
discover why trees are present in our population centres, how urban
life in Britain has engulfed them in the last 200 years, why life
is so difficult for urban trees, what their role is, and how we
should care for them and include them in our urban future.
