WHAT IT’S ABOUT:
It’s often said that urban trees are the only form of city infrastructure that actually increase in value and capacity over time. So why have so many North American cities historically underfunded their care and maintenance? And why do we continue to indiscriminately mow down city trees – and entire urban forests?

In Out On A Limb, Erna Buffie answers these questions and more as she explores the secret lives and extraordinary benefits of urban trees, the critical role city forests can play in increasing climate resiliency, and how grassroots organizations can empower city leaders to invest in the urban trees and forests we love and need.
Advance praise for Out On A Limb:
“Out On a Limb is a practical and passionate guide to preserving and growing the urban tree canopy. It is a much needed clarion call for our ecological future.” —Helen Humphreys, author of Followed By the Lark
