Dr. Michelle Kondo, USDA Forest Service will present research on the public health implications of Philadelphia’s 30% tree canopy goal, along with research around the public health value-added of urban greening efforts that are community engaged. Erica Smith Fichman will outline the extensive public engagement effort that informed the Philly Tree Plan, Philadelphia’s 10-year strategic plan for the equitable growth and care of the urban forest. The Philly Tree Plan included 7 different public engagement programs and tools that centered community in order to create a plan that brings the benefits of trees to the people who need them the most, in the ways that support them the best.
