Chesapeake Bay Program Webinar: Addressing Urban Tree Supply Challenges in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
With urban tree planting initiatives expanding nationwide, there is increasing pressure on the supply of trees. Those seeking to purchase trees often find their options more limited than expected in terms of quantity, quality, size range and diversity. To address these challenges, the Chesapeake Bay Trust and the USDA Forest Service collaborated with a team of researchers to facilitate discussions with growers, designers, urban foresters, and technical experts across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In this webinar, we will present highlights from this effort, including significant research findings and case studies from successful initiatives in both the public and private sectors.
Presenters: Dr. Andrew Koeser, University of Florida; Jehane Samaha, USDA Forest Service
