As I sat in the van, writing up a work recommendation, I looked out the window and saw this, putting a rainbow out over my day.

Hello #Nottingham! I'm visiting your great green city this week looking for remarkable urban trees to include in my next book. Do you know where I should be looking for them? Or do you know a special tree? I'd love to get your suggestions 🌳🌲🌳

Hey Twittersphere, we're designing a new web interface for our local authority, for citizens to log tree enquiries. I'm looking for good examples from other authorities. Suggestions of where to look welcome please.

There's a time and a place, but I'm not sure this is either. Local authorities must do better in explaining the benefits of trees and their canopies to citizens.

Tree Equity. I think this may be one of the missing pieces for a local authority wanting to strategically decide where to plant trees. Watch this (UK) space. youtu.be/YlnfR1dC7rM
