Perth and Peel have just released their first ever Urban Greening Strategy. π³
The headline target: 30% tree canopy cover by 2040, and one million new trees planted by 2035.
It's backed by a new Let's Grow grants program for schools and community groups, alongside existing investments like the $6.9M Treebates incentive and $7.2M Tree Recovery Program.
Ambitious canopy targets need evidence-based decision making.
Tree Ledger is the first platform to track every urban tree, year after year. Coming soon to Perth. π
