How will the ‘right’ tree species be selected for my street?
The Newcastle Street Tree Masterplan currently being developed has established a selection procedure that will be implemented in street planting throughout Newcastle. Species selection begins with a systematic review of all elements of neighbourhood character, street design, infrastructure types and locations, and urban forest, biodiversity and green corridor objectives. Once these matters have been analysed a short-list of species with suitable characteristics is drawn up and residents will then be consulted on progressing to the final selection of preferred species.
