Urban Forests: Trees And Plants In The City

- Опубліковано 22 лип 2017
- The words “urban” and “forest” may sound like contradictory terms but our urban environments are, or could be, vast forests of street trees, park trees, and backyard trees. Trees are very important in the urban environment, where they serve many valuable purposes. Trees:
• Capture, hold, and filter water to clean it and buffer communities from flooding
• Serve as a green oasis respite from the built environment
• Offer habitat for animals, insects, people and other living beings
• Cool the atmosphere to counter global warming
• Generate the oxygen we breathe
• Slow or stop erosion and absorb runoff
• Create beauty, a sense of safety, community, and much more.
Andy Lipkis, world-renowned leader in urban forestry, is founder of Tree People in Los Angeles. We kick off this episode with Andy giving an overview and creating an appreciation for urban forestry. We meet him at TreePeople facilities in the Santa Monica Mountain where he tours us through demonstration and learning environments designed to serve and train a diverse audience.
Closer to home, we talk with politicians involved in the beginning of San Diego’s urban forestry efforts. We get an update on the status of San Diego’s urban forest, its management, and the conflicts inherent in the process. We meet community members whose grass roots efforts save and protect heritage trees, and young people learning about the value of trees and how to care for them, too. That discussion helps us understand what each of us can do to support trees in our neighborhoods and our communities.
Excellent presentation
Way to go 👍

What characteristics should a tree planting site have? How deeply and how far from the trunk should a root system be?

Not just regular trees plant fruit trees to
My husband uses these plans from Woodprix and is very happy with them. However. I love yours!
I just imagined myself walking on the sidewalk and suddenly the lady in the thumbnail peeks over from a tree in front of me and asks me if I like trees? 😖
I have to ask how is the fake lawn is so much hotter than the pavement? I understand theres variables but what kinda message is trying to be portrayed here? I love trees and agree all urban areas need trees but due to the MSM being divide and conquer big pharma propaganda I have to question any type of "programming" like this. By the way a program is called a program because it's literally programming the viewer.
500 trees over 5 years in DAC ? Lol that’s not very much ..
