NATIONAL NEWS
Urban and Community Forestry Funding in the United States
(Davis, CA)- Based on survey data from all fifty states, California  
ReLeaf identified and explored potential stable funding sources for  
urban and community forestry. Funding sources explored include a trust  
fund to accept private donations, sales and property taxes, carbon  
sequestration credits, income tax donations, and utility partnerships.  
One common theme was an emphasis on increased partnerships.

LOCAL STORY
Portland neighborhoods write the book on sustainability
(Portland, OR)- Sustainability begins at home, or at least in the  
neighborhood. A coalition of 20 neighborhood associations in southeast  
Portland has teamed up with Portland State University students to  
produce a Neighborhood Climate Action Planning Handbook. The document,  
filled with block-level examples, is intended to be a resource for  
neighborhood groups interested in reducing their carbon footprint.
