February 13 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Join us for a virtual workshop entitled Overcoming Barriers in Urban Tree Planting and Care featuring speakers from across the United States. The event is Thursday February 13, 12-2pm pacific / 1-3pm mountain / 2-4pm central / 3-5pm eastern. This event will address crucial questions for equitable and sustainable urban forest management, including: What are the barriers facing urban tree planting initiatives from the perspectives of residents, community leaders, and practitioners? How do these concerns and challenges relate to the larger tree management life cycle, and the experiences of people from different neighborhoods? How can these barriers be overcome, particularly in low-income and low-canopy areas? Each speaker will address solutions to address challenges, and there will be an open Q&A with all speakers.
