The Turning Point for the D.C. Region’s Tree Canopy
Manage episode 435423782 series 3367180
As trees move to the forefront of planning for climate change, U.S. cities are urgently setting tree canopy goals to make sure residents can continue to benefit from this resource that takes decades to grow. But development and other pressures aren't making it easy. In this week’s episode, host Marcelo Jauregui-Volpe speaks with members from the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, which recently set a tree canopy goal of 50% for the D.C. region. The episode will also feature interviews with leading experts that study deforestation and how the pollution and heat in cities uniquely affect tree growth.
