The new version of the guide boasts invaluable contributions from a range of esteemed collaborators, emphasising the importance of tree planting along highways, adoption, and maintenance.

Kent County Council and AJS Flood Risk Consulting have jointly crafted an innovative trees and utility study report, showcasing their commitment to advancing sustainable urban development practices. This groundbreaking research guide will undoubtedly serve as a valuable resource for professionals and enthusiasts in the field.
Also, in support of a visionary project spearheaded by our industry friend, Alan Simpson of Leeds Beckett University.
