He will talk about the city’s recent tree inventory. Then we’ll get into our work groups to strategize how HEJA can increase the tree canopy. Key questions to explore:
*What areas of the city need more trees?
*How do we convince skeptical residents about the value of trees in their communities?
*What policies or incentives should the city adopt or strengthen to get more trees planted or maintained?
