This report on Addison Road’s inaugural 2019 Rethinking the Urban Forest conference features the birds-eye views of Jayda Bicer, who kept an illustrated record of the speakers and their ideas across the day.

“An architect might have a vision. Look at my wonderful green vision. They get permissions from councils and other bodies. Along the way to it being developed the money runs out.
