"For those wanting to make positive environmental change, this guide demonstrates the why, what, and how of planting native trees to rewild our landscapes.
Planted around homes and businesses, in parks and public open spaces, along city streets and highway margins, and even in parking lot islands, native trees offer countless benefits beyond their four-season beauty — purifying air, shading and cooling in hot weather, storing atmospheric carbon, minimizing flooding and stormwater runoff, and helping to sustain vital pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.
