Canopy Campaigns and Public Tree Goals
Part I: Goal Setting
December 17, 2009
1:00- 2:00pm EST

Many cities and counties around the country are taking up the banner
of a tree campaign or public canopy initiative. A central challenge to
such programs is how to balance the public relations goals of the
campaigns with implementing a visionary yet achievable initiative.

OVERVIEW
Cheryl Kollin, Consultant, American Forests (Washington, DC)
Urban areas are losing their trees at an alarming rate while
impervious land covers like roads have been increasing rapidly. Many
city leaders don't realize this tree loss is costing them billions of
dollars in ecological services like stormwater management.
Fortunately, the tools we are using to identify the problem also offer
hope of solutions.

LOCAL PERSPECTIVE
Dan DeWald, City of Bellevue (Bellevue, WA)
The City of Bellevue is well beyond the first important step of
measuring the extent and value of their urban forests. They're using
this information to examine development and zoning requirements, test
design scenarios, and measure the potential impact on trees, open
space, the environment, and ultimately their communities livability.
