In future Britain will have species like Ginkgo and Monkey Puzzle trees in its forests. There is need to increase tree cover, diversify planting and follow strict biosecurity guidelines to help protect forest, gardens and landscapes from climate change, pests and diseases. 

 Resilience Garden starts at 1 minute and 46 seconds.
