SUCCESS STORY
Greenprint Program
(Sacramento, CA)- Sacramento Tree Foundation is working with elected  
officials of 28 local governments in six counties to double the  
region's tree canopy over the next 40 years. The Greenprint includes  
guiding principles for cities and counties for maximizing the benefits  
of shade trees to save energy, improve air quality, retain storm water  
runoff and enhance community life. It also offers a step-by-step  
approach to increase levels of commitment in three key areas:  
management of public trees, policies and ordinances, and community  
partnerships.
