TreeVitalize: Helping Communities Increase Tree Canopy Cover Webinar Feburary 7
|
|
Christine Tiehurst, TreeVitalize Program Administration with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' Bureau of Forestry will be the presenter in a February 7 lunchtime webinar hosted by the PA Community Forestry initiative.
In recent years, studies have shown that built communities across Pennsylvania have lost tree canopy cover. Community losses are not just in numbers of trees. It translates into reductions in benefits such as improved air and water quality, energy conservation, economic vitality, and quality of life.
Learn how the TreeVitalize program works to reverse those losses and helps revitalize communities across the Commonwealth by planting 1 Million trees. This tree planting initiative has expanded from its first reach in the Philadelphia Region in 2004 to currently 14 metropolitan regions across the Commonwealth.
Find out more about the grants program that provides financial assistance to municipalities and the Tree Tender program that has trained thousands of volunteers to plant and care for their community trees.
This first Pennsylvania Community Forestry Lunchtime Webinar is part of a growing series to expand training and outreach opportunities on urban and community forestry topics.
This webinar was developed through a partnership of Penn State Extension, DCNR Bureau of Forestry, and Pennsylvania Community Forests.
