Trees, People and the Built EnvironmentThe conference proceedings for ‘Trees, People and the Built Environment’, held last year in Birmingham, have now been published by the Forestry Commission. As the Steering Group representative of one of the partner organisations, I would like to thank you once again for the vital role you played in making this a hugely successful event.

The conference proceedings run to 260 pages and contain some 25 papers from expert practitioners and research scientists from around the world. The topics featured cover many different aspects of urban trees, urban forestry and urban greening.

The full proceedings and the individual papers are free and can be downloaded here: www.charteredforesters.org/proceedings2011/. They are also available to download from the Publications section of the Forestry Commission website: www.forestry.gov.uk

Printed copies of the conference proceedings can now be purchased, in A4 size 250 pages in full colour, from:
