An Innovative Urban Forest Water Management Project

Why plant a tree? For almost 30 years, Andy Lipkis has been addressing this simple, yet powerful, question. Through his organization, TreePeople, Lipkis has researched and demonstrated that trees can be efficient and effective in solving eco-system problems. Recently, TreePeople began their most ambitious project yet—planting an urban forest in Sun Valley to address the single greatest flood risk area in the County. TPR is pleased to present this interview with Andy Lipkis in which he discusses the true power of trees and their economic value to urban environments.
