AGENDA
Green Infrastructure Summit
(Day 1)
The Summit is a chance for urban forest leaders from around the country
to hear from Hill staffers, ACT national partners, and other experts
about how trees and green infrastructure fit into the agendas of energy
& commerce, transportation & infrastructure, financial
services, labor & education, and more.
Urban
Trees Forum (Day 2)
The Forum is a collaborative effort led by ACT's Policy Committee
during which urban forest leaders roll up their sleeves to dialogue
about the value of trees, elevate local success stories to national
models, and form task forces to champion targeted public policy.
