OVERVIEW
Cheryl Kollin, Consultant, American Forests (Washington, DC)
Urban areas are losing their trees at an alarming rate while impervious
land covers like roads have been increasing rapidly. Many city leaders
don't realize this tree loss is costing them billions of dollars in
ecological services like stormwater management. Fortunately, the tools
we are using to identify the problem also offer hope of solutions.

LOCAL PERSPECTIVE
Dan DeWald, City of Bellevue (Bellevue, WA)
The
City of Bellevue is well beyond the first important step of measuring
the extent and value of their urban forests. They're using this
information to examine development and zoning requirements, test design
scenarios, and measure the potential impact on trees, open space, the
environment, and ultimately their communities livability.
