NeighborWoods Month Primer- Part I
August 6, 2009
1:00- 2:00pm EST

Under the banner of National NeighborWoods Month, local organizations are joining together to promote our common message- that trees are essential to the health and livability of our cities and towns. In October 2008, NeighborWoods Month resulted in 33,000 trees planted by 18,000 volunteers at 412 events across the country. This broad reach of NeighborWoods Month raises the level of discussion and action in your community, by emphasizing that tree canopy protection is both a local and a national concern.
