S5E10 — If Money Grows on Trees, Where is Urban Forestry Funding? with Jad Daley of American Forests
Dr. Nadina Galle is joined by Jad Daley, the 40th president and CEO of American Forests, the oldest forest conservation organization in the states, to discuss the unprecedented $1.5 billion federal investment for the U.S. Forest Service’s Urban and Community Forestry Program, how the investment will give priority to projects that benefit underserved communities, address extreme heat, and low-canopy populations, and how Jad and the team at American Forests have estimated that the cash influx, combined with matching contributions from funding recipients, could create thousands of jobs and help plant and protect 40 to 50 million trees nationwide. At the end of the episode, we wrap up with Ian Hanou, the founder and CEO of PlanIT Geo, to reflect on what Season 5 has taught us and to discuss what it means for the future of urban forestry.

Customer Reviews
Recent show with Carlotta Conte
Just listened to this most recent show and so appreciated the conversation, with the voiced observation about an “older” tree care industry experiencing change and challenges in this young century. The tagline I’ve been using is that “the tree care industry is on the frontline of the climate catastrophe.” Arborists are only now beginning to connect the dots as to their professional responsibilities in being part of the solution.
Informative and entertaining
I love how Nadina is seeking out information around technology and nature. Such interesting people and subjects. It’s a great way to not only learn about cutting edge technology but also to hear about potential applications.
