NEIGHBORWOODS MESSAGE
Heed the Chief: Take Part this October!
In his latest video
for October 2011, US Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell encourages
everyone "to get involved both personally and professionally" in
NeighborWoodsTM Month this
October. He reminds us of the great value of urban forests: "Urban
trees and greenery raise the quality of life [...] We can have a
healthy urban forest" if we take action to make it happen!
