Seeing the Forest in Your Street Tree

With Nina Browne and Jibreel Cooper, Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Trees thrive when they are part of a diverse, interconnected forest community of life above and below ground. Yet trees in cities must rely on people to co-create healthy urban ecosystems. As your street trees go dormant for the winter, learn best practices to help garden more like a forest, so that next spring your community’s trees can thrive. Take home a native plant to try in your street tree bed!
