Greening Cities Together: Insights From Allied Professions on Shaping Urban Forest Futures
In May 2025, Tree Canada presented an E-Lecture series, as part of the Canadian Institute of Forestry’s National E-Lecture Program, titled “Greening Cities Together: Insights From Allied Professions on Shaping Urban Forest Futures”. Curated by Tree Canada’s Research and Engagement team, this webinar brought together allied professionals (planners, engineers, landscape architects) to discuss interdisciplinary approaches to urban forestry that highlight the vast expertise needed to successfully manage urban trees and greening.
