SUCCESS STORY
Greenprint Program
(Sacramento, CA)- Sacramento Tree Foundation is working with elected officials of 28 local governments in six counties to double the region's tree canopy over the next 40 years. The Greenprint includes guiding principles for cities and counties for maximizing the benefits of shade trees to save energy, improve air quality, retain storm water runoff and enhance community life. It also offers a step-by-step approach to increase levels of commitment in three key areas: management of public trees, policies and ordinances, and community partnerships.
