“There’s always a place for native trees in ou “There’s always a place for native trees in our hearts and in our gardens,” says Neighborhood Trees Senior Specialist Andrew Land. “But there’s also a place for non-native, locally hardy trees in the urban environment.” 🌲 Read our blog on the value of native trees, as well as non-natives like the swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor), which does really well in cities because its roots are accustomed to anaerobic conditions. 🌳 Link in Bio

Friends of Trees in The Washington Post: "A recent Friends of Trees in The Washington Post: "A recent study conducted in Portland, Ore., found that in neighborhoods where a nonprofit planted more trees, fewer people died.The paper, by researchers at the U.S. Forest Service, adds to a budding body of research into the health benefits of living around greenery. Its findings amount to a prescription for policymakers to plant more trees.'Urban trees are an essential part of our public health infrastructure, and they should be treated as such,' said Geoffrey Donovan, the Forest Service researcher who led the study published in the December issue of the journal Environment International."Read more: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2023/02/12/planting-tree-health-live-longer/
