Using the right tree in the right place, and maintaining it correctly will provide healthy, beautiful trees whose benefits can be enjoyed by the community for many years. Why plant trees? ....................... page 1 Get a Street Tree Permit First.... page 2 Check the Site & Choose the Right Tree……........ page 3 Plant it Right………………...……page 4 Four trees are removed for every one planted in most American cities. Help it Grow ……...……………… pg 5 & 6 A single large average tree absorbs 26 pounds of CO2 per year. Resources………………………… pg 6 Each vehicle spews out approximately 100 pounds of CO2 per year. Why Plant Trees? Trees in an urban area increase quality of life by: Air quality and cleansing - A typical person uses 386 lb. of oxygen per year. A healthy 32 ft. tall ash tree can produce about 260 lb. of oxygen annually. Two of these trees would supply the oxygen needs of a person each year! Improved water quality - The canopy of a street tree intercepts rain, reducing the amount of water that will fall on pavement and then be removed by a storm water system. Heating & Cooling Costs - A mature tree canopy reduces air temperatures by about 5 to 10° F, influencing the internal temperatures of nearby buildings. Trees divert wind in the winter and increase winter-time temperatures. Increased home sales prices - When homes with equivalent features are evaluated, a 6% increase to the value is associated with nearby trees. Soil Stabilization - Tree roots stabilize soil, helping to minimize erosion.

  • TESTIMONY of RANDY MOORE, REGIONAL FORESTER PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT of AGRICULTURE—FOREST SERVICE BE
    TESTIMONY of RANDY MOORE, REGIONAL FORESTER PACIFIC SOUTHWEST REGION UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE—FOREST SERVICE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM—SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT August 20, 2019 Concerning WILDFIRE RESPONSE AND RECOVERY EFFORTS IN CALIFORNIA Chairman Rouda, Ranking Member and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss wildfire response and recovery efforts in California. My testimony today will focus on the 2017-2018 fire seasons, as well as the forecasted 2019 wildfire activity this summer and fall. I will also provide an overview of the Forest Service’s wildfire mitigation strategies, including ways the Forest Service is working with its many partners to improve forest conditions and help communities prepare for wildfire. 2017 AND 2018 WILDIRES AND RELATED RECOVERY EFFORTS In the past two years, California has experienced the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in its recorded history. More than 17,000 wildfires burned over three million acres across all land ownerships, which is almost three percent of California’s land mass. These fires tragically killed 146 people, burned down tens of thousands of homes and businesses and destroyed billions of dollars of property and infrastructure. In California alone, the Forest Service spent $860 million on fire suppression in 2017 and 2018. In 2017, wind-driven fires in Napa and neighboring counties in Northern California tragically claimed more than 40 lives, burned over 245,000 acres, destroyed approximately 8,900 structures and had over 11,000 firefighters assigned. In Southern California, the Thomas Fire burned over 280,000 acres, destroying over 1,000 structures and forced approximately 100,000 people to evacuate.

  • Choosing a Forester
    Choosing a Forester Choosing the right forester has important long-term consequences for your property. The advice a forester gives, and the advice you choose to pursue, can effect your woods for 30, 40, 50 years -- or longer. The forester will visit your property, talk with you about your expectations and create a forest management plan that refl ects your goals. Educating Yourself Before you can choose the right forester for you, you fi rst need to know: -- what you can do on your property, and -- what you want to do. To better understand your forest land and your options, tap into local resources to help you discover your property’s potential. The Watershed Agricultural Council’s Forestry Program The Forestry Program can also help you with a Watershed Forest Management Plan or other cost- share programs. www.nycwatershed.org . Workshops . Master Forest Owners (MFO) Master Forest Owners are trained landowners who will walk your property with you, share what they see, answer questions, give advice and introduce you to others who can help. www.dnr.cornell.edu/ext/mfo .

The author acknowledges the original authors of this publication: James E. Johnson and James W. Pease, Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; and Larry A. Johnson and George M.

The Cooperative Extension Service of the United States Department of Agriculture provided funds for the original development of the Tree Crops for Marginal Farmland project. 4 Tree Crops for Marginal Farmland Many producers would like to increase farm income and decrease income variability. A growing number of farmers are investigating new and diversified sources of income. A resource that has not been tapped to its full potential is marginal farmland, specifically its use for growing tree crops. More than 30 million acres of woodland, idle pasture and cropland exist on Southeast farms, and much of this land could be producing valuable tree crops.

Section A provides the public summary and background information that is required by the Forest Stewardship Council. This section is made available to the general public and is intended to provide an overview of the evaluation process, the management programs and policies applied to the forest, and the results of the evaluation. Section A will be posted on the SCS website (www.scscertified.com) no less than 30 days after issue of the certificate. Section B contains more detailed results and information for the use of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. 2 FOREWORD Scientific Certification Systems, a certification body accredited by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), was retained by Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to conduct a certification evaluation of its forest estate. Under the FSC/SCS certification system, forest management operations meeting international standards of forest stewardship can be certified as “well managed”, thereby enabling use of the FSC endorsement and logo in the marketplace.
