What Can I Do?
The first step in urban naturalization is to realize that it is an ongoing process that involves individual, community, and political effort. As an individual living in an urban environment it is important to be informed about the trees and plant life that surrounds us. As many of the trees and plants in the urban landscape are not in their natural habitat, they require informed routine maintenance. The trees and plants in our cities are subject to harsh living conditions such as: limited resources, poor air & water quality, and limited soil. By focusing on routine maintenance rather than annual restoration, will help insure these plants and trees have the right nutrients and are planted in the right environments. It is vital to any city within any environment to be familiar with their native tree and plant species. A thorough knowledge of this will maximize the tree and plant potential, save the city from unnecessary expenses, and will provide the city an overall healthier and sustainable environment and future. Work with us to make a difference today.
