Gwilym Griffiths is the co-founder of the Good Canopy Company, an organization dedicated to assisting local governments with urban forest management and planning. He is a prominent advocate for increasing tree canopy coverage in urban areas, emphasizing the importance of integrating tree planting with housing development to combat urban heat and enhance community well-being. Recently, he voiced concerns over the ambitious tree canopy target of 40% by 2036, labeling it as unrealistic given the current growth rates and the challenges faced by new suburban developments in western Sydney.
