What can you do to dramatically change the face of the earth for the better right from where you are? You can become one of the craetors and keepers of a fresh new generation of urban forests with the help of this uncommonly pragmatic and inspiring manual. More than a primer on planting trees, it is a guidebook to sharing a dream, galvanizing a community, and getting a job done. Condo dwellers, homeowners and frustrated urbanites will discover the power they have to change the global environment starting on their patio, in their back yard, on their block or anywhere else that a tree would enhance the landscape. Packed with quotes and useful references, crammed with stories of others' success, full of useful hints, and with space for your own ideas, plans and checklists, it is the perfect guide to make an impact for a better world.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
TreePeople, an organization dedicated to promoting urban forestry, has compiled a guide to help city dwellers ("citizen Foresters") start or get involved with tree planting projects. The guide explains such practical matters as what species to plant where and how to nurture young trees, but perhaps more importantly, it also provides case-study examples (from Southern California communities, in particular) of how tree-planting campaigns were started. The problems of arousing community support, getting funding, and handling team organization and public relations are some of the key elements discussed. The book concludes with a questionnaire and workbook for local groups to use. While less technical and comprehensive a discussion of this subject than Shading Our Cities , edited by Gary Moll and Sara Ebenrech ( LJ 12/89), this will be an excellent citizens' guide to include in city library collections.
