Forest Research, with support from Portsmouth City Council, are collecting views about local trees, woods and forests in Portsmouth. An online questionnaire asks residents about trees in their local area and across the city, what sort of trees they’d like to see more of, how they think trees in their neighbourhood are managed and much more. It’s an opportunity for people to share their views on the treescape in Portsmouth and what more they’d like to see.
