Protecting trees of high social, cultural and environmental value

Despite their exceptional – and often irreplaceable – characteristics and value, ‘important trees’ have been, and continue to be, lost and damaged.

This research by the Tree Council and Forest Research explores ways to better protect and manage these trees and to shape future policy development and further research.
