RESEARCH

Trees Are Good, But...
An individual's attitude toward trees may result from their firsthand  
encounters with specific trees. Understanding how attitudes about  
trees are shaped, particularly aversion to trees, is critical to the  
business of sustaining healthy urban forests.

Other Research:
Urban Trees and Birth Outcomes
Soul of the Community
Park Spending, Use and Trends
