Socio-economic inequalities in access to nature on public and private lands: A case study from Brisbane, Australia

- Tree cover is higher in more socio-economically advantaged neighbourhoods in Brisbane, Australia.
- This socio-economic bias occurs on both public parkland and residential yards.
- High quality remnant vegetation is much more even shared across the socio-economic gradient.
- Most tree cover across the city occurs within residential yards.
- Thus, greening efforts on private land could help promote equal access to nature.
