| Abstract: |
Trees in towns bring with them both benefits and costs. Whilst many of the costs are well known to managers of urban trees, who watch the budgets and answer the phone to disgruntled residents, the benefits can be seen as nebulous and difficult to quantify or justify. Never the less, a considerable and expanding body of research exists on the benefits that urban trees bring. This briefing note is an attempt to summarise some of the benefits of urban trees. A number of papers relevant to the subject of the benefits of urban trees have, with the kind permission of their authors, been included in the appendices. |
