Thanks @JadDaley for the Tweet. You all at @AmericanForests are doing some of the most important work to make US cities denser and greener and safer, for all.

[Robert Ian McDonald, Ph.D. @RobIMcDonald]

So happy to see @Emma_Marris 's thoughtful discussion in @TheAtlantic of my recent paper on how cities can be denser and greener. https://t.co/xo0EfSKKbP

[Robert Ian McDonald, Ph.D. @RobIMcDonald]

So excited to see our new global study on how cities can be both dense and green come out!

A @Nature_NPJ Urban Sustainability paper presents an approach to support the greening of cities by quantifying and mapping the diverse benefits of natural infrastructure for now and in the future. https://t.co/HqUrSmV3Pd

Our new perspective paper in @PNASNews has been published! Together with a great interdisciplinary team of experts and facilitated by @NatCapProject we map out how urban nature can be leveraged for improved physical activity and health. https://t.co/3h586hfCfX. A thread:

Excited to see Google making a commitment to protecting biodiversity and nature.

Interesting new tool to track equity in the urban forest produced by American Forests: https://t.co/Ocj1LzOie5

[Erica Spotswood @espots99]

I'm excited to be a part of an important piece of work published today. With my excellent collaborators, @RobIMcDonald shows that inequality in tree cover is widespread across US cities. Everyone deserves access to the life-affirming benefits of trees. We must act to fix this.

[Robert Ian McDonald, Ph.D. @RobIMcDonald]

Tree inequality in widespread and pervasive in US cities. Our new survey of almost 6000 US communities is out in PLoS One: https://t.co/tOpVOIkjUw

Cities are a critical piece of #Biodiversity planning. People establish cities where nature is abundant. I love this image by @MatthewDiffee. #UrbanNature #biophilia #ecosystemservices @espots99

@carlyziter @megmwheeler @sfei_asc This really nicely captures the intent of this paper! Great to see. 😀

In this Advance Article, @espots99, @MylaAronson and 4 other #scientists identify five pathways by which cities can benefit regional #ecosystems. #aibs #bioscience #sciencejournal https://t.co/VqncYJfWMr
