    i-Tree Eco Evaluation

     Forest Research has produced a study which evaluates the impacts delivered by UK i-Tree Eco projects on the awareness, management and policy of urban forests. The study found some projects achieved significant impacts including informing tree and woodland policies and justifying greater investment in tree management.

The study provides recommendations to overcome these challenges to help guide the design and delivery of future i-Tree Eco projects.
