Planting and maintaining street trees is an investment, but it’s one that pays for itself over and over again. Cities around the world are starting to calculate the economic value of their urban forests, a task made feasible with [3D modeling software.]

And more research is finding that trees pay for themselves many times over..."

"...North American cities today are in big trouble financially. The money they spend has to stretch as far as possible, and the multipurpose nature of trees fits that bill. In addition to the benefits I’ve mentioned here, plentiful research has found that street trees have a positive effect on traffic calming, boost spending in retail areas, and encourage walking and biking. If you'd like to see more street trees in your town or city, lead with economic arguments and examples of the practical, easy-to-grasp infrastructure benefits that urban trees deliver.

"The #TinyForests system was developed by Japanese ecologist Akira #Miyawaki. His approach has now spread around the world & involves jumpstarting a mature forest, moving quickly into that later stages of growth, so we get forest within a few decades rather than 100s of years"

"We need to work harder & put more energy/funding into those areas of the city & the downtown. We're encouraging more people to live in the core to live in areas that are absolutely devoid of trees. We need to be cognizant of that as Calgarians & what we expect from our city."

"It's important to recognize the climate benefits of having trees with #UrbanCooling. It's measurable. With more severely hot days it's important people are able to escape that heat. Streets with a canopy are much more cool than untried streets, getting back to equity & health."

"The #SoftFascination phenomenon occurs when you're in a #NaturalArea & just naturally start paying attention to the trees, the leaves blowing in the wind etc. You don't have to work to have that experience. It's very conducive to rest, a restorative feeling & taking away stress"

"I think those pieces of data tell us this is a health issue where some people in Calgary are having poorer health experiences & outcomes simply because of where they live and the fact that they do not have the same natural areas and green spaces that other parts of #YYC have"

"The evidence is very strong for a forested area having very strong health benefits, both physical benefits, things like cardiovascular health but mental health benefits as well. It's really important for our mental health to be able to see natural areas and trees in particular."
