Bridging Trees and Health: The Public Health Outcome of Urban Tree Canopy

Trees play a significant role in improving public health in urban areas. They reduce air pollution and mitigate heat islands, which lowers the rates of respiratory disease, cardiovascular complications, and heat-related illnesses in cities. In addition to physical health, urban forests have also been proven to enhance mental and social well-being. Though scientific evidence of the benefits of urban trees has grown, public investment in trees has decreased.

In this webinar, learn how to bridge the goals of urban greening with the goals of the health sector through relevant case studies from across the country.

Certified Arborists will earn 1.5 ISA CEUs upon attending the live webinar.
