What will you learn?
The world has become increasingly urban with roughly half the population
living in an urban area. This has resulted in tremendous shifts in land use
resulting in changes to rural and natural ecosystems and the development of
urban ecosystems. This webinar will introduce extension agents to concepts
of urban ecology, which addresses the intricate relationship between humans
and urban trees, air, water, soil, wildlife, and more. For example,
research has shown that urban trees reduce crime and improve our health and
well-being, as well as helping ameliorate stormwater challenges. Urban
ecology is an important concept to understand when working with client
groups who have an interest in environmental issues, such as 4-H, Master
Gardeners, and others.
