San Francisco’s small #urbanforest canopy cannot cope with #airquality fallout from #California wildfires https://t.co/uQdDkouzIX

Good read @ClimateKIC on overcoming municipal governments' regulating, funding and managing of urban trees that hinder effective #urbanforests. Offers approach to Trees as Infrastructure (TAI). https://t.co/7CFjlp7Cwr #urbangreening

Here are 7 cool vertical forests around the world. Vertical forests turn status quo on its head -- rather than cut down forests to build cities, build forests on city infrastructure. https://t.co/WtHA9WH1v8 #urbanforests #trees #urbangreening #urbanforestry

Chinese cities are ‘branching out’ by driving urban #reforestation. The newest vertical forest project in Nanjing is estimated to absorb 18 tonnes #CO2 a year. #urbanforests https://t.co/2YjzstnLdT

Good start by City of #LosAngeles to plant 90,000 trees in two years (city has 1 million public trees). But 2019 report on setting up strategic #urbanforest master plan details many challenges to overcome https://t.co/iseKsVnMZc #trees #urbanforestry #urbangreening

U.S. cities spend $1.7B annually fighting invasive pests. State of Washington has published an Urban Forest Pest Readiness playbook for communities to improve readiness and response. https://t.co/9cXnAoWQdY #trees #urbanforests #urbangreening #urbanforestry

Krogers to grow produce in Washington state grocery stores. Britian's Marks & Spencer introduced vertical farms in stores in September https://t.co/XmXWfGLchj #urbanfarming #urbanag #urbangreening

Interesting post about Madison, WI Tree Tax revenue jumping from $1M to $5M annually in just 5 years https://t.co/zXmXRB0XTB via @brendakonkel #urbanforests #trees #urbangreening #urbanforestry

We always read nice blurbs on community tree planting projects, but reality is U.S. urban tree canopy dropped 40% between 2009 - 2014. Challenge is urban forestry efforts are local, decentralized and limited. #urbanforests #trees https://t.co/pFepPqllaq via @DeseretNews

I’m looking for stats on how many sq. ft. of indoor ag/#verticalfarms would be required to replace percentage of traditionally grown produce either globally or just U.S. Can anyone point me to a source? #urbanag

[Trellis @trellisgroup_]

As the growth and maturity of indoor ag operations continue, they could play a critical role in food security amid a changing climate as well as the continuing shift in global trade patterns. From @makower: https://t.co/SvBOv5naOW

2 #California cities are ranked in MIT's Treepedia comparison of tree canopy coverage in 27 world cities. #LosAngeles ranks 20th with 15% and #Sacramento ties at 8th with 23%. Compare cities here https://t.co/hGfhjIBHW2 @BSSLosAngeles @TheCityofSac @SacTree

Good read on vertical farming industry at inflection point. But living 45 minutes from California's Imperial Valley is reminder how far #verticalfarming has to go (grow) to make an impact in food supply. https://t.co/OG5PwvSFK7 via @GreenBiz #urbanag #urbanfarming #urbangreening

Urban Watershed Forestry is another step at holistic management of urban natural resources. It links two key practices -- urban forestry and watershed management. https://t.co/SeUPqbYO8y #urbangreening #watershed #urbanforests #trees #urbanforestry #water

MIT's Treepedia is fun, interesting detailed interactive presentation on tree canopy in #urbanforests of 27 world cities. #Tampa ranks first and #Paris last. #urbangreening #trees #urbanforestry

#UrbanTrees help the Texas economy. Every job created in the urban forest sector results in another 0.32 jobs in Texas, and every dollar generated contributes an additional 92 cents to the rest of the economy. Learn more at https://t.co/k5MPxUuSnV 🍃 #urbanforestry

Can the 2017 federal tax cut's "Opportunity Zone" development program be a model for incentivizing large scale #urbanagriculture in disadvantaged communities? https://t.co/uAETmPRoRi #urbanfarms #urbangreening #urbanag #urbanfarming

[Urban Greening News @GreeningNews]

A great example of vertical farms' promise of new food source and economic development. Compton, a racially-diverse, low-income Los Angeles neighborhood, is getting a 95,000 sq. ft. vertical farm. https://t.co/6OHXFQeeRe #urbangreening #urbanfarms #urbanagriculture.
