The Tree Council writes:
The Trees and Woodland Strategy (TAWS) Toolkit is a step-by-step guide for Local Authorities and their stakeholders to develop and deliver a local tree strategy and harness the long-term benefits that trees can bring to local communities. It provides practical guidance, insightful case studies from ten Local Authorities around the country and an array of other useful resources.
Funded by Defra and co-created by The Tree Council, Fera Science, Forest Research, the Forestry Commission, Local Authorities and other stakeholders, the toolkit also highlights how Local Authorities can draw on the current exceptional levels of Government funding for tree planting to enhance local communities.
