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/
