Urban Tree Challenge update

Since we announced Forestry Commission match funding for Dulwich as part of the Urban Tree Challenge, we have planted 85 trees across the Estate, with a further 33 trees still to go. The programme provides a welcome boost to the area’s green canopy.

As part of the initiative, The Dulwich Estate is carrying out a tree survey, mapping locations and assessing the condition of its trees to ensure they are well looked after. The survey will include calculating a CAVAT value (trees as a public asset), as well as carbon sequestration and other environmental benefits. This programme of work belongs to a wider Estate green strategy which we will continue to update on in the coming months
