A Better Direction for Urban Tree Plantings
Learn issues and hear guidance towards creating a more biodiverse and climate resilient urban forest that benefits not just us humans, but creates a landscape rich in all of life. Urban forests should not only mitigate heat islands caused by all the man-made materials but be a life-giving stopover to the billion migrating songbirds that fly overhead each spring and fall season. Learn from past mistakes and reflect on ongoing challenges to plant a future urban forest that will enrich our communities into the future and provide the benefits of its full potential of ecosystem services.
