This event will address crucial questions for equitable and sustainable urban forest management, including: What are the barriers facing urban tree planting initiatives from the perspectives of residents, community leaders, and practitioners? How do these concerns and challenges relate to the larger tree management life cycle, and the experiences of people from different neighborhoods? How can these barriers be overcome, particularly in low-income and low-canopy areas?

Each speaker will address solutions to address challenges, and there will be an open Q&A with all speakers.

This event is sponsored by the Center for Sustainable Communities at Temple University.
