Findings and Recommendations

• Glasgow has a high density of trees compared to cities in England, but lower than in neighbouring Edinburgh.
• Glasgow has a high proportion of large trees (60 cm+); a lack of medium sized trees puts this at risk in the future.
• Vacant land supports a significant number of trees in Glasgow, second only to parks. This could be a major consideration in development plans, as vacant land is most likely to be developed.
• Up to 32% of Glasgow’ urban space is available to plant new trees or shrubs.
• The ecosystem services provided by Glasgow’s urban trees were estimated to have a value of £4.5 million per year.
