The Urban Forestry & Environmental Justice Playbook:   Empowering Communities & Reducing Disaster Risk

The Playbook centers environmental justice in its support of new and existing urban and community forestry (UCF) initiatives, while offering a template for countering the legacies of environmental inequality in urban design which have produced uneven tree canopies and inequitable urban forests.

It couples elevating ecological protection with community-centered public science and is designed to empower residents and reduce disaster risks, while strengthening both environmental and public health.
