We close this brief essay with a call to action,
inviting you to share your stories of doing this
work, which may be used in a future City Trees
Roundtable (for specifics, please contact City Trees
Editor Michelle Sutton). In this way, we can learn
from each other how to grow and sustain our urban
forests through biocultural stewardship.
