The Scientific Benefit of Trees for Livable and Sustainable Communities
Thursday, January 19, 7 – 8:30 PM
Jessica B. Turner-Skoff, PhD, Science Communication Leader, The Morton Arboretum
The scientific literature is clear: in addition to supporting critical habitat and ecosystem processes, trees can improve people’s physical, mental, and social well-being. An effective strategy to enhance people’s lives is to plant and protect trees, especially in cities. This talk will take a deep dive into the research and demonstrate how trees can help support 15 of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hear the overwhelming evidence on the benefits of trees and discover how investing in trees is an investment in a better world.
