Our Urban Tree Canopy: NIches & Policies
press release: From the health of a single tree to the vitality of the contiguous urban forest, the canopy that covers our city is a crucial component of our municipal infrastructure. Yet even though the benefits of this canopy extend to the city as a whole, its management is fragmented across disparate governmental jurisdictions and thousands of private property owners. This two-part presentation first outlines the potential for local not-for-profit programs to operate between the private and public realms in order to grow and diversify canopy coverage on individual sites and across the metropolitan region. It will then describe the recent work and results of the Urban Forestry Task Force which was charged with a comprehensive review of Madison’s policies and programs affecting trees.
