SUMMARY:Tree Equity and Local Governments
DESCRIPTION:Neighborhoods homes to equity-deserving groups often have lower canopy cover than other neighborhoods. In this session\, we’ll explore how and why Ontario municipalities are adopting a ‘tree equity approach’ to guide their urban forestry efforts. Join us to discuss how the tree equity approach is being used to prioritize tree planting\, the policies that support this work\, and how it can help ensure that all neighborhoods in your community experience the benefits of an urban forest. \nClimate Caucus members in Ontario should receive a calendar invite to this event. If you have not received a calendar invite\, check your junk mail\, or contact olivia@climatecaucus.ca
