Trees in Peterborough: the areas of the city with the most and least tree coverage

New data released by the Friends of the Earth has shown that England’s tree cover is just 12.8%, compared to 38% in Europe.

The group claims that the government must double tree cover to address the interlinked climate, nature and public health crises, prioritising tree planting in the most in-need areas.

The research also finds that 43% of neighbourhoods have less that 10% tree canopy coverage, while 84% have less than 20% coverage.

In Peterborough, just three neighbourhoods have more than 20% coverage and seven have less than 10%.

The neighbourhoods are broken down below.
