Urban and community forests are vital for community well-being, health, resiliency, and sustainability. Their associated benefits should be accessible and available to everyone.

Learning Objectives:
Describe the wide range of benefits urban and community forests provide.
Understand the impacts of recent funding increases and how organizations are taking advantage of these new opportunities.
Identify ways that their work connects to urban and community forestry and/or ways to make their work more relevant to policymakers.
