Greenville's Urban Forest Comprehensive Plan: What It Is and How to Take Part

Urban forester Mindy Mohrman joins Kelly Byers to walk through Greenville's Urban Forest Comprehensive Plan: what it covers, what the canopy data and tree inventory show, and why a healthy urban forest depends on private landowners as much as the city. Residents can weigh in at a virtual meeting on August 19th or through a short survey open until August 21st, both at greenvilletreeplan.com.
