Figure 3. Reasons for joining SMA were multiple and spread out over the respondent base. The most
popular reason for joining SMA was Virtual Learning/Webinars; second-most was publications like City
Trees magazine; and third-most was regional meetings—something that doesn't currently take place but
appears to be appealing to a big slice of respondents. This was a "Choose all that apply" question.
Figure 4. The responses to "What municipal/urban forestry issues are most important to you?"
were well spread out, but, interestingly, the top-most concern among the most respondents was
Declining Tree Canopy. The second was Managing the Human Dimension of Urban Forestry,
then Heat, then Climate Change. This was a "Choose all that apply" question.
