The UK needs more trees especially in urban areas – and better connections between our green spaces. Planting and managing trees for climate adaptation is essential, but how and where we do it matters just as much as the numbers. At JBA, we work closely with our clients and environmental partners to design thriving landscapes that help reverse biodiversity loss and create healthier, more adaptable habitats for both wildlife and people.

Trees can shape environments for generations, but their positive impact starts right away – making outdoor spaces cooler, healthier, and more resilient to climate extremes. To assess and aid in delivering these benefits we have capitalised on the use of cloud-based software and data capture technologies, enabling quick, collaborative, and up-to-date management of tree assets with clients and colleagues alike.

We harness technologies like remote sensing, drone footage capture, GIS, and specialist software to craft innovative, inclusive landscapes. Working hand-in-hand with our environmental and landscape colleagues and partners, to identify, optimise and maximise the benefits trees can bring, from carbon storage and biodiversity gains to rainfall interception, and societal value.
