TreeVitalize: Helping Communities Increase Tree Canopy Cover
Christine Ticehurst, TreeVitalize Program Administrator, DCNR Bureau of
Forestry

In recent years, studies have shown that built communities across
Pennsylvania have lost tree canopy cover.  Community losses are not just
in numbers of trees.  It translates into reductions in benefits such as
improved air and water quality, energy conservation, economic vitality,
and quality of life.  Learn how the TreeVitalize program works to reverse
those losses and helps revitalize communities across the Commonwealth by
planting 1 Million trees.  This tree planting initiative has expanded from
its first reach in the Philadelphia Region in 2004 to currently 14
metropolitan regions across the Commonwealth.  Find out more about the
grants program that provides financial assistance to municipalities and
the Tree Tender program that has trained thousands of volunteers to plant
and care for their community trees.

This first Pennsylvania Community Forestry Lunchtime Webinar is part of a
growing series to expand training and outreach opportunities on urban and
community forestry topics.

This webinar was developed through a partnership of Penn State Extension,
DCNR Bureau of Forestry, and Pennsylvania Community Forests.
