Climate Ready Trees On-Line Resources:
Mature trees provide the greatest benefits to the community, and we want to do all we can to help ensure that the trees we plant will have long and happy lives. This starts with choosing appropriate tree species that are well adapted for their planting site, meaning that they should be able to survive and thrive in the year-round conditions of your town’s climate, both now and throughout the tree’s life span.
Stay tuned – more information and resources about Climate Ready Trees coming soon!
