[quote_center]The Environmental Outlook: Celebrating And Understanding Our Urban Forests[/quote_center]
On October 5, on the Diane Rehm Show she intervied Jill Jonnes, historian and author of “Urban Forests. Jonnes makes the case for the benefits of planting trees in an urban environment, like the Loveland area.
“America’s cities are full of trees but despite encountering them all the time we tend to take them for granted or know little about their natural history and civic virtues. But in a new book, “Urban Forests”, author Jill Jonnes says trees play an extraordinarily important role in our cityscapes and they are the dominant component of what is now called green infrastructure. For this month’s Environmental Outlook Diane looks at the history of America’s urban trees and what they mean for the health of our city’s today.”
