i-Tree Eco provides a means to more fully understand a city’s urban forest with respect to its species composition, structure and condition, and to calculate and value many of the ecological benefits that that urban forest provides to those and live and work in the city.
In order to better understand Cardiff’s urban trees, an i-Tree Eco survey was devised throughout 2017 and surveying was undertaken in late summer of 2017.
This work was funded by Cardiff City Council and Welsh Government.
The project partners were Cardiff City Council, Welsh Government, and Forest Research.
The infographic summary, full report, and supplementary report are available in the Documents section (below).
