As recognised in the London Urban Forest Plan, collating data about London's urban forest is challenging due to the number of landowners and managers involved, as well as the limited resources available. The Plan committed to undertaking regular updates to this map, and also, over time, to collating a London-wide inventory of publicly owned and managed trees, in line with emerging national standards.This simple but inspiring map will have you rooting to explore London's under-appreciated green heritage. Each map measures approximately 420 x 594mm (16 1/2 x 23 1/2 inches) and folds to 210 x 148mm (8 1/4 x 5 3/4 inches), and includes over 20 photographs. The front of each map plots building or feature locations, and details, photography and an introduction are included on the reverse. Our maps are printed in the UK by a family-run B Corp-certified printer. We use quality recycled paper and print with vegetable-based inks to ensure minimum environmental impact.
