Woods for the Trees or Trees for the Woods?

It is somewhat encouraging that grants are reportedly to be made available for planting and 3 years of care for an estimated 130,000 trees around English towns and cities (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/may/19/130000-trees-planted-england-english-cities-global-heating). This is apparently an attempt to mitigate against global warming but the species used, their locations and the longer term issues surrounding the develop all seem a bit vague. Some trees are clearly better than others for such developments.
