Valuing Birmingham’s Urban Forest
Acknowledgments:
Our thanks to the many people that made this project possible. We would like to say a huge thank you for the time and support from our wonderful team of volunteers (named in appendix v) and surveyors who completed the all-important field work for this study. This project would not have been possible without your commitment.
A special thanks go to Barton Hyett Associates and Birmingham Tree People for assistance with field work and to Forest Research for their contribution to the work on the natural capital accounts chapters.
Finally, we wish to thank all landowners and members of the public who allowed access to their properties for the collection of the field data.
The study was led by Treeconomics, who were commissioned by WMCA, in partnership with Birmingham Tree People, Barton Hyett Associates, and Forest Research. It was made possible through funding received from the Emergency Tree Fund (administered by The Woodland Trust), which draws on Amazon’s Right Now Climate Fund. Field survey data was collected by volunteers and surveyors during the summer of 2023.
