Tree planning and planting campaigns : a guide for reforesting cities and towns

Abstract

This guide is written for planners, landscape architects, urban foresters and arborists, elected officials, community tree advocates or anyone who wants to make the case for robust urban canopies, funding forest expansion and implementing strategic tree-planting campaigns. This guide shows how to craft a compelling argument for the urban forest. It also details the data needed to both set a canopy goal and create realistic, proven strategies for engaging both the public and private sector in growing and sustaining the urban forest. Case studies and examples are provided throughout this guide to show that these ideas really do work.
