As cities grow, the spaces between built landscapes and natural systems are continuously shifting, reshaping urban environmental conditions including temperature, air quality, and soil health.
The results are compounding stressors that impair urban forest functions and their intricate ecosystems’ ability to respond and recover. This, in turn, affects everyday quality of life for people in cities.
Our work brings together research and practice-based insights from diverse communities around the world in the development of accessible resources, practical tools, and stewardship opportunities that strengthen local capacity to care for these spaces.
