People and organizations are seeking solutions that don’t just reduce negative impacts but ensure positive contributions to the long-term health of people and the planet. SFI-certified forests and products are powerful tools to achieve shared goals such as climate action, reduced waste, conservation of biodiversity, education of future generations, and sustainable economic development. SFI PROVIDES PRACTICAL, SCALABLE SOLUTIONS FOR MARKETS AND COMMUNITIES WORKING TO PURSUE THIS GROWING COMMITMENT TO A SUSTAINABLE PLANET. When companies, consumers, educators, community, and sustainability leaders collaborate with SFI, they are making active, positive choices to achieve a sustainable future. Our mission is to advance sustainability through forest-focused collaborations. For 25 years, SFI has been a leader in sustainable forest management through our standards. In recent years, we have built on our successes and evolved into a solutions-oriented sustainability organization that addresses local, national, and global challenges. Our recently updated mission, to advance sustainability through forest-focused collaborations, reflects this focus. Climate change, biodiversity, strength in diversity, clean water, the future of our youth, the importance of a walk in the forest, and the sustainability and resilience of our communities—these are some of the important issues that the SFI community is working to address. Thank you for We also realized that we will need a new generation of leaders to help us tackle the future challenges being a part of facing our planet. This led to the acquisition of Project Learning Tree in 2017 and the creation of Project Learning Tree Canada that same year. We believe that this increased focus on environmental education the SFI will help SFI make an even bigger difference. By leveraging our network to grow PLT and PLT Canada, community and we will help ensure our positive impact for another 25 years and beyond. for helping us I believe our work is more important now than ever before and our commitment to forests and the social and environmental benefits they provide will continue to position us to meet future challenges. make better Thank you, choices for the Kathy Abusow planet.

    MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITIES ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF ALL CHAPTER FIVE ester Brown of the World WatchL Institute once wrote, “Tree planting fosters community spirit and pride, bringing people together for a meaningful purpose that can build bridges and promote understanding...” In a living example of Brown’s vision, it was trees that brought together people of diverse ethnic backgrounds in a Long Beach, California, tree planting campaign that won a 1993 National Arbor Day Foundation Project Award. The project demonstrated bridge- building cooperation among 28 local organizations that included city bureaus, civic organizations and neighborhood associations. It was reported that during this project people of different ethnicities from the same neighborhood worked together side by side toward a common goal for the first time ever. The Trees benefit everyone equally and tree project even found its way into projects can be the builder of bridges local school curricula and between cultures. resulted in educational tree materials being printed in English, Spanish and Khmer. 30 To build any strong, sustainable urban forestry program a different approach is needed today than has been used traditionally.

In both 2000 and 2001, the fire season in Alberta was officially declared on March 1, one month earlier than all previous years on record. Coinciding with this has been the aging of forests throughout North America beyond their natural historic ranges, and the increase in community and industrial developments in forested areas which are creating a greater number of wildland/rural/industry interface boundaries. The latter has required unique fire management strategies. As the severity of the 2001 fire season developed in late May, Land and Forest Service escalated man-up and aircraft expenditures significantly above normal levels in expection of increased fire load (Figures 1-3). Prior to fire activity in the Protection Zone of Alberta, municipalities in the agricultural areas were experiencing extreme fire behaviour

    Tree City USA® Take Pride in a Greener Community ou have seen the signs along the road and perhaps a Tree City USA flag flying at city hall in other communities. Towns and cities that have Y received their Tree City USA recognition take pride in this distinction. And the people who live there enjoy the valuable benefits of having a greener, healthier community. Tree City USA is a national recognition program that began in 1976 and is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and National Association of State Foresters. By meeting four fundamental standards, an incorporated municipality of any size can qualify. Applying for the Tree City USA award is easy and the recognition is outstanding. There are now thousands of communities that proudly receive roadside signs, fly the flag of Tree City USA and — knowing the value of participation — renew their application every year. Tree City USA is a great way to get the community involved in green space. A community that feels involved will take better care of their environment. – ALISON LITCHY, FORT SMITH, AR FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENTS OF TREE CITY USA n STANDARD 1: A TREE BOARD OR DEPARTMENT The formation of a tree board or value enhancement, and all the other department often stems from a group attributes of trees in cities of all sizes.

  • Arbor Day Teacher's Guide
    Teacher’s Guide Arbor Day Seedling Distribution Program A Maryland Forest Education Initiative Maryland Department of Natural Resources Forest Service and Maryland State Department of Education 1 Maryland State Department of Education Nancy S. Grasmick 200 West Baltimore Street State Superintendent of School Baltimore, Maryland 21201 Phone (410) 767-0100 TTY/TDD (410) 333-6442 Dear Arbor Day Teachers, The Arbor Day Teacher’s Guide was written by Maryland elementary school educators who have been involved with Arbor Day in their schools. The development of the Guide was a cooperative effort between Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources and the State Department of Education. We have tried to make the activities child-centered, fun and authentic, while keeping the use of activities flexible enough to meet your particular class or school needs. The activities in the Teacher’s Guide should be helpful to you as you prepare for Arbor Day. Although Maryland’s ‘official’ ArborDay is the first Wednesday in April, almost any day is a good day to plant trees. Planting directions and informative classroom activities are included in the Guide. Arbor Day is a wonderful opportunity to help students developtheir sense of appreciation and ability to care for living things in general and trees in particular. We are dependent on trees and forests for many difference resources we use every day. Trees and forests give us jobs, many environmental benefits and a quiet place to walk on a summer day. We hope you find this Teacher’s Guide helpful and easy to use, and that as you implement Arbor Day you take a few minutes to sit in the shade with two of Maryland’s special resources, our trees and our children.

  • CASE STUDY Inspiring Youth With
    Inspiring Youth with Trees: Potential Career Pathways in Arboriculture and Urban Forestry PROJECT PARTNERS: USDA FOREST SERVICE AND SOUTHERN REGIONAL EXTENSION FORESTRY During May 2018, the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Workforce Summit convened at the Bartlett Tree Ex- perts lab in North Carolina to explore solutions to key industry workforce challenges. One of the challenges identified was a low number of new arborists entering the field, in part due to minimal youth awareness of arboricultural career opportunities prior to high school graduation. As the first step in reaching the next generation of arborists and urban foresters, the USDA Forest Service funded a project to research grade K-12 resources that introduce youth to nature, trees, arboriculture and urban forestry. The project team investigated youth resources that not only inspire career opportunities, but also increase knowledge and foster stewardship toward trees, forests, and nature. The approxi- mately 65 resources found vary in their target audience, reach, and methods in educating youth; yet, all approaches are creative and appear impactful. Four resources were developed as case studies for this report. What are we doing with this information? The goal of this project was to first understand what resources are current- ly available and compile them into a list. The next step is seeking partner input on ways to either further the impact of existing efforts or support development of new curricula or programs. The compiled list is not exhaustive. Project partners welcome input on additional youth resources. The full list of resources can be found at: https://sref.info/ projects/workforce-development-youth-and-arboriculture.

EX: SMUD (Sacramento’s utility) has given away over 500,000 trees since 1990, averages12,000/year to residences. Every customer is offered free trees and given education information about where and how to plant them to shade the house - and maintenance information. Their constant message is “Trees Save Energy”. LG&E should consider “Tree Line USA” certification. The City Arborist/Forester Works in the Urban Planning Dept. – NOT in Public Works. This professional sits at the table for all planning for all sustainable and growth projects and engages stakeholders at local & regional levels across multiple sectors (air & water quality, energy, land use, transportation, etc.) to formulate policy and planning framework to advance forestry and green infrastructure efforts – focusing on policy, planning, design, maintenance, and education/outreach. (See Vibrant Cities & Urban Forest presentation) Competitive Exclusion Principle: These key issues unite many competing organizations together so use them collaboratively: climate change, storm water runoff, sustainable communities, urban greening, energy conservation, air pollution reduction, water quality improvement, soil retention, public health.
