WashU undergraduates are invited to spend the morning learning from Tim Beatley. Over breakfast we will have a discussion of the emerging importance of urban trees and forests in addressing the climate, energy and human health challenges faced by cities today. Beatley will survey what cities are doing to protect existing trees and canopy as well as to grow new forests. From planting tiny-forests in public spaces, and on balconies and rooftops, to rethinking street trees, to re-growing old-growth forests in and around cities, Beatley will present the optimistic future vision of forest urbanism.
