UK Biodiversity Tree Register

UK Biodiversity Tree Register - Local Authority Tree Planting 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity. In April 2002, the Parties to the Convention committed themselves to achieve by 2010 a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss at the global, regional and national level as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on Earth. This lead to the creation of the UK Biodiversity Action Plan and, in turn, the Local Biodiversity Action Plan for the place where you live. At Tree Appeal we are trying to discover the extent of tree planting that has been carried out in the UK in pursuit of these Plans. To do this we are creating a register of trees planted since 2002 and would very much appreciate a few minutes of your time to complete the form below. We are aware that large scale plantings, which are usually funded or part-funded by a Forestry Commission grant will be captured centrally. We are looking to document smaller scale plantings which would otherwise go unrecorded but which nevertheless play a major role in creating long-term habitat and promoting biodiversity. The UK Biodiversity Tree Register will be delivered to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and will list those individuals, companies, organisations and local authorities who have made a contribution by planting native trees in the UK. Tree Appeal would like to thank you for your time and for helping to make the world a greener place.
