"Urban Trees - A Practical Management Guide"
|
“Urban Trees - A Practical Management Guide” by Steve Cox.
Towns and cities are where most of us live, work and play, and although we recognise the value of the trees standing on the corner, or in the park, or framing
the cathedral, most of us are unaware that they are a vital part of our urban life-support system. This invaluable book is essential reading for all those who
wish to discover why trees are present in our population centres, how urban life in Britain has engulfed them in the last 200 years, why life is so difficult for
urban trees, what their role is, and how we should care for them and include them in our urban future.
