Sarah Shorley is the Urban Projects Officer for the Woodland Trust, and in this soundbite she delivers her dream scenario for Sheffield in the wake of the tree removals which is discussed in the full episode out this friday May 28th.

Inspired by community activism for trees in her home city of Sheffield, Sarah joined the Woodland Trust in 2018 to lead the Tree Charter community mobilisation programme.    Sarah’s passion for mobilising people, working in partnership and driving policy change, led her to join the Trust's urban team in January 2020 where her remit involves working to bring together multiple stakeholders from within local communities and council departments to secure the protection, creation and establishment of urban woods and trees.
