Blueprint Resources for Successful Urban Forestry

Creation of a library of ‘blueprint’ or model resources for implementation of urban forestry to increase carbon sequestration and mitigate urban heat (along with many other co-benefits). These prototype tools for communities across the nation are being developed as part of Arbor Day’s Opt-In Scale-Up program in collaboration with leading experts and communities. They are designed to capture success stories and key lessons learned by early adopters with successful urban forestry programs. The aim is to accelerate broader adoption and avoid some of the pitfalls that others may have experienced. The initiative includes an offer of mentorship from advanced urban forestry groups to those in early phases of start-up programs.
