TDAG seminar on the health benefits of trees

Trees and Design Action Group seminar - Trees for human resilience and wellbeing

This session, which is available watch here, was prompted by the inspirational evidence backed guidance developed by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority on The Health Benefits of Urban Trees. What this guidance provides in one place is that each topic area relating to trees and health is backed by a reference to evidence-based research. This makes it a valuable tool for those who are trying to win the case for why investment in trees can deliver vital, cost saving benefits for improving community health. We will also hear about positive actions for trees and health in The Mersey Forest working with partners in the north of England. Join our seminar and put your questions to our expert speakers. 

​Chair: Dr Suzanne Bartington, Clinical Associate Professor in Environmental Health, University of Birmingham
