This webinar discusses the importance of urban greening and shows how trees, shrubs and other plants create an urban forest in our built environments.
Presented by Sustainable Gardening Australia, the session will explore the role vegetation plays in cooling our urban environments, bringing benefits for both climate change mitigation and adaptation. This session will also explain what we can do in our own backyards to make our urban communities more resilient in a warming climate, including useful tips on tree and plant selection.
General topics:
- Introduction to the issue of urban heat
- Benefits of trees in cooling our environment
- Introduction to the urban forest and how trees, shrubs and other plants contribute

With National Tree Day on Sunday 27th July we hope this webinar will get you even more inspired to get planting to aid cooling your patch.
