  2. On my way to the BES #Trees4CBP symposium in Canterbury to present ‘Revealing cultural histories of Scottish woodlands: for restoration and engaging communities’ and to listen to the great range of speakers.
    Good to see a few other speakers from Scotland in the programme.

  3. Reading a copy of the #ReforestingScotland journal I picked up when I was last over there, I learned about Cecil Konijnendijk's 3-30-300 rule for urban forest:

    3: You can see three mature trees from where you live, work or study 🏡
    30: Each neighbourhood should have thirty percent tree canopy cover 🏘
    300: Everyone should be no more than three hundred metres from good quality green space 🌳

    Here's an open access article applying the rule to Barcelona: dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.20

    (Where I'm sitting right now I can't see three mature trees, but if I stand at the window and crane my neck, then I can see some.)
