Overview

Richmond Council is currently conducting a survey to help develop a tree planting strategy to support its local plans. Trees are an important part of the urban landscape, providing a range of benefits. Increasing tree canopy cover has been identified as a key component in helping the borough become more resilient to the effects of climate change, and enhancing the borough as a place to live, work, and visit.

The survey aims to understand how people in Richmond Borough feel about the trees in the area. The Council says it is interested in the public’s opinions on trees in Richmond, how this relates to existing tree provision, and suggestions for additional tree planting.

This survey is the initial phase of a broader engagement project planned to give residents the opportunity to shape the Council’s tree planting and establishment strategy. This strategy will outline the Council’s priorities and targets, and provide details on where efforts will be focused. There will be further opportunities to have your say as the strategy develops.
