I love this post as much as I love city trees. I also love that the small college town where I spend time (along with New York City) has had a Tree Committee since 1932, whose seven members “maintain and improve the canopy of shade trees,” which “contributes environmental and aesthetic benefits” to the town. City and country alike!
Thank you for an interesting read (as always). Made me google my own city's tree coverage and realize that, in terms of trees and forests, I'm quite lucky - around a third of my city is covered in trees, and that data is from a few years ago. And, to my knowledge, the tree planting still goes on and so the tree canopy expands. :)
