LONDON, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- American Forests, Woodland Trust, and The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare today unveiled the U.K. Tree Equity Score, a tool from U.S. conservation nonprofit American Forests intended to bring awareness to the inequitable tree cover across 34,000 of its urban neighborhoods — nearly 80% of the population — and the disparities such variance brings.

Key Points: 
  • Tree Equity Score shows what it would take to increase the U.K.'s average urban tree cover to 30%, roughly doubling it.
  • Because trees are essential infrastructure, space and budget for trees should be incorporated into public policy including housing, transportation and health.
  • Retrofitting trees into hard landscapes will be essential to improving Tree Equity in dense cities world wide.
  • American Forests' Tree Equity Score tool has been in use in the United States for two years and is integral to its plans to advance Tree Equity in 100 cities by 2030.
