This beautiful book of narrative non-fiction looks at the urban
forest and dives into the question of how we can live in harmony
with city trees. "Imagine a city draped in a blanket of green ...
Is this the city you know?" A Forest in the City looks at the urban
forest, starting with a bird's-eye view of the tree canopy, then
swooping down to street level, digging deep into the ground, then
moving up through a tree's trunk, back into the leaves and
branches. Trees make our cities more beautiful and provide shade
but they also fight climate change and pollution, benefit our
health and connections to one another, provide food and shelter for
wildlife, and much more. Yet city trees face an abundance of
problems, such as the abundance of concrete, poor soil and
challenging light conditions. So how can we create a healthy
environment for city trees? Urban foresters are trying to create
better growing conditions, plant diverse species, and maintain
trees as they age. These strategies, and more, reveal that the
urban forest is a complex system-A Forest in the City shows readers
we are a part of it. Includes a list of activities to help the
urban forest and a glossary. The ThinkCities series is inspired by
the urgency for new approaches to city life as a result of climate
change, population growth and increased density. It highlights the
challenges and risks cities face, but also offers hope for building
resilience, sustainability and quality of life as young people act
as advocates for themselves and their communities. Key Text
