An Urban Tree Canopy (UTC) assessment, which provides a measure of a community’s tree canopy cover, is important for understanding the extent of a community’s forest or tree resource.

Although the effects of climate on species richness are known, regional processes
may lead to different species richness–climate relationships across continents

Learn about how to evaluate sites that are ideal for urban tree health and growth and resources and tools on how to better assess these sites. 

Check out this exciting webinar that covers which cities around the world are considered "green" and have a significant amount of green spaces and forest cover and what impact that is having on the economy, people, and environment. 

New research shows that trees communicate with one another and share nutrients through their roots! They need each other. In urban areas, trees also help us with health, economic and social benefits. They are part of our culture. We need them.
