Stay informed with the latest findings on Arizona trees!

Join us for this informative webinar as we hear from arboricultural experts who will share important data collected from recent research studies.

Best Practices for Tree Equity Action will explore current and emerging research related to Arizona’s urban forests, with a focus on the relationship between tree canopy, extreme heat, community health, and climate resilience. Participants will gain an understanding of the tree equity framework, examine how researchers and practitioners are using tools such as Tree Equity Score and i-Tree to identify canopy gaps and prioritize investments, and review Arizona-based examples and case studies that demonstrate data-driven approaches to urban forest planning. The webinar will highlight how strategic tree canopy expansion can help mitigate extreme heat, improve public health outcomes, and support more resilient and equitable communities across Arizona.
