The Local Government Environmental Assistance Network (LGEAN), in cooperation with American Forests, hosted a webcast in May 2004 called "Seeing Green with Trees: The Economic and Environmental Benefits of Urban Forests."
The webcast demonstrated how trees have been used by local governments to meet environmental regulatory requirements, save money, and improve community quality of life. The webcast also featured case studies of local governments that have met the challenges of reducing air pollution, minimizing stormwater runoff, and improving water quality with urban forests.A multimedia CD-ROM recording of that webcast is now available. It includes a Windows Media audio/video recording of the original webcast, as well as the individual PowerPoint presentations. It also contains several fact sheets on various urban forestry-related topics, and Internet links outlining the benefits of urban forestry. To order a copy of the CD-ROM, contact LGEAN at 877/TO-LGEAN or lgean@icma.org.
