To create resilient and healthy cities by enhancing the ways in which people understand, access, plan and manage urban forests

To advance the science of urban forestry and the stewardship of sustainable urban ecosystems by conducting cutting-edge research across multiple scales

We adopt an interdisciplinary and applied approach to understand the social, biophysical and technological aspects of urban forestry

We partner with non-academic agencies, organizations and communities to inform policy and practice

We practice inclusivity and consider the relationships between all human and non-human nature, regardless of social, physical, intellectual or sensory conditions

We consider social and ecological diversity and design our methods to reflect this

We mobilize relationships with diverse partners through meaningful engagement, co-production and sharing of knowledge
