The urgent need to protect and enhance Perths urban canopy

Nick is cofounder and current Chair of WA Tree Canopy Advocates.

Nick has been a Director of LandCare group Friends of Lake Claremont since 2010 and was recognised in 2021 for his work in conservation by the Conservation Council of WA.

Perth has the lowest canopy cover of any Australian capital city, sitting at just 16% in 2020. We are also one of the only states that does not regulate the removal of significant trees. Mass tree deaths in the 23/24 summer and the invasive Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer have left our urban canopy in a state of crisis.

WATCA is advocating for action from both state and local governments to address this crisis.
