Urban Forestry in New Mexico - Albuquerque's Tree Program
from Taos Land Trust Hosted by Taos Land Trust
Urban forests are a key climate change adaptation strategy. The city of Albuquerque, New Mexico has a strong and successful urban forestry program. What lessons can be learned from the Albuquerque program that are applicable across the rapidly warming American Southwest? Jim O'Donnell talks with Dave Simon from the City of Albuquerque Parks and Recreation Department and Sarah Hurteau of the Nature Conservancy about the Albuquerque urban forestry program, and how trees can help us adapt to climate change.
