This guide is designed for councils to successfully plant, protect, and promote street trees within their communities. It provides practical tools, strategies, and resources to help councils:

• Engage residents effectively and build support for street tree initiatives.

• Address misconceptions and overcome behavioural barriers that hinder pro-tree behaviours.

• Communicate with confidence, ensuring the value of street trees is widely understood and appreciated.

By using this guide, councils can lead the way in growing, maintaining, and safeguarding urban tree canopy, ensuring street trees are not just planted, but valued, protected, and nurtured for future generations
