New from me (+gorgeous pix by Amanda Snyder):

Many Seattleites dont realize they’re responsible for trees lining the streets until there’s a problem—or aren’t ready to provide this care. But failure to support these trees will have an increasingly dire impact on the city’s tree-canopy goals and on the planet.

Grateful to really dig into an accountability story and make it interactive (scroll!)

This article discusses the attributes of urban trees necessary to support birds, some of the conservation work that we have done to protect trees for birds in the City of Los Angeles, and reflects on the changes in approach needed to create a more biodiverse urban forest. #urbanforests #Environment #WildLife https://travislongcore.net/2023/03/12/an-urban-forest-for-the-birds/

To attain global climate and biodiversity goals, we must reclaim nature in our cities

New York City has a on-line map with the location of each tree in the city, and information about it. People can care for trees and record their contributions on the map, and can get permits to plant trees in empty street tree beds. The website also estimates the environmental and CO2 sequestration benefits of the city's trees.

Avazea sells software like this, based on an open source project, to cities.

UNECE has launched the policy brief: “Sustainable Urban and Peri-Urban Forestry" to emphasize the role of sustainable urban and peri-urban forestry as an integrative and strategic nature-based solution that can help develop healthier, more sustainable and climate resilient cities.

Really interesting paper on #UrbanForests #ClimateCrisis https://treesincities.unece.org/policy-brief#sthash.pVY0TUDc.dpbs

“‘It’s not the gradual change that’s going to be the problem, it’s these extreme swings of too much water, too little water, too much wind, and storm intensities are going to cause these rapid changes,’ said David Nowak, a retired scientist for the U.S. Forest Service.”

Every time I take a walk in my neighborhood or run errands downtown, I can’t help but wonder what our town will look like as this century progresses. #trees #urbanforests #climate
