    Townships, cities, and boroughs in the Delaware Valley now occupy land that was once an expansive, eastern forest. Trees were felled for buildings, farms, roads and yards. There is now increasing awareness of the many benefits of urban trees and interest in extending the tree canopies we live under. This workshop will outline the benefits, from ecological to psychological, social to environmental, and consider how best to plant trees to maximize the benefits they provide. The discussion will be of interest to homeowners, landscapers, urban designers, members of shade tree commissions, arborists, environmentalists, and ecologists alike. This course carries 2 CEUs for ISA arborists.
