[To approve the Tree and Woodland Strategy for the City of Wolverhampton]

1.     That the Council’s Tree and Woodland Strategy be approved.

2.     That the principles of the Charter for Trees, Woods and People (the Tree Charter) be endorsed.

Councillor Steve Evans sought Cabinet’s endorsement to a Charter for Trees, Woods and People and approval to a Tree and Woodland Strategy for Wolverhampton.  The proposals would support the aims of the Council Plan, the Climate Emergency declaration and of several wider strategies, such as the Joint Public Health and Wellbeing Strategy. These actions would have a positive result for the City and help concentrate action to improve the cover and condition of trees and woodland in the City

Resolved:

1     That the Council’s Tree and Woodland Strategy be approved.

2     That the principles of the Charter for Trees, Woods and People (the Tree Charter) be endorsed
