Image of a city with trees and faces

These are the Faces of Urban Forestry — citizens whose lives have been changed by a community tree project or program. 

The Faces of Urban Forestry project was the first of its kind—a collection of personal stories that demonstrated the important role federal, state and local urban/community forestry programs play within our nation's cities and towns. The stories outlined the value of investment in urban forestry programs and how funding is leveraged to improve the lives of citizens across the country.
