State Coordinators News

Words for thought

-- Springfield Union-News editorial page, Feb. 7, 2002

"A survey by the Philadelphia Inquirer of homeowners in golf course developments in southeastern PA found that only about 20% of the owners actually played golf. They said they bought there because they liked the view across the fairway. These findings suggest that open space is a far more important feature in community planning than golf courses, and that home buyers are willing to pay a premium to live in communities with green space."

-- Ed McMahon, The Conservation Fund

Questions of the Month:

Responses to last months question on urban wood utilization

Maine  Maine has seen a slow increase in the production of value-added products from urban trees. Though the process is slow, I believe it can grow to be incredibly valuable for the economies of many cities and towns. Check out the City of Bath website for an incredible example of value added use of urban wood. www.cityofbath.org/forest/andreas.htm -Jan Ames, Community Forestry Specialist, Project Canopy, ptsaja@mint.net

Indiana  Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB), Indianapolis Parks & Recreation Department, and the IDNR Community & Forestry Program have seen slow progress in the urban wood utilization project that was originally funded by a USFS Focus Funding grant. Due to staffing restrictions with KIB and Indy Parks, it has been difficult to maintain the project. But now, things are changing. Wood Mizer has come back in as an active partner, the State has provided three acres of land in downtown INDY for the log and operations site, a vendor has been found to purchase green lumber, and a staff person will now be on site to manage the log yard. Wood Mizer is not only milling the lumber on a regular basis now, but they are also using the area as a training ground for their staff and new Wood Mizer operators. KIB has been awarded a special Urban Forest Conservation Fund grant to further promote urban wood utilization along with other urban forestry messages. All in all, things are looking up.

Other communities in Indiana compost, mulch, firewood, and offer wood to crafters who like the "look" of urban wood for woodworking and art projects. The City of Bloomington had some Black Walnut ink pens milled from some trees and gave them away as gifts. A local crafter made them along with a pen box to keep them in. Is this going to be a viable thing? Maybe, but there is much more work to be done. At the very least, leaders are looking at their removals in a possible dollar light instead of waste in landfills.

STATE OF THE STATES  [back to top]

Arkansas - Central High Neighborhood, Inc. (CHNI), is a historic neighborhood of national proportion. Covering a 36 square block area, the 13 year old urban forestry program is one of the oldest in the state. Each year a different management phase is implemented with the planting of replacement trees, the pruning of trees for health, lighting and traffic, or the removal of large trees which are diseased and have become hazardous. The City of Little Rock, local businesses, a local church, the area utility company and members of CHNI work together to insure the programs success. For more information, contact Patti Erwin, UF Coordinator Arkansas Forestry Commission at: perwin@arkansasus.com

Hawaii - From Urban Landscapes to Native Forests: Invasive Species in Hawaii
This two-day invasive species workshop was held in December. Its purpose was "to discuss ways to seem the inflow of terrestrial invasive species into Hawaii while maintaining an economically viable landscape industry." As a result of this meeting, goals include: to score plants using a modified version of the Australian Weed Risk Assessment System; classify scored plants; develop a list of alternative, non-invasive plants that builds upon the existing Maui County Planting Plan, and allow for planning with flexibility based on environmental conditions. The final goal is to develop a media strategy to reach a broad spectrum of the public and the green industry. Contact Teresa Trueman-Madriaga, Hawaii U&CF Coordinator at ttm@hawaii.rr.com.

Idaho - "Working Together to Improve the Community Forest" is the theme of the 6th PNW Community Trees Conference to be held in Boise, Idaho on June 22-23,2002. This urban forestry conference, hosted by the state urban forestry program and state councils in AK, ID, OR, and WA, will feature a variety of speakers including Dr. Kathy Wolf of the UW Center for Urban Horticulture, Meryl Redisch of TreeUtah, and many other well-known regional speakers. Anyone involved in municipal urban forestry programs will benefit from hearing presentations on tree board effectiveness, training volunteers, tree planting and care standards, and many other topics. Saturday afternoon's tours will include visits to some of Boise's most impressive tree collections. The event will be held at Boise State University, and low-cost housing is also available.

South Dakota -- Trees, People, and Towns Conference
Every other year since 1994, the five states (SD, NB, WY, CO and KS) within US Forest Service Region II, along with North Dakota, have sponsored a small community forestry conference. This year it will be entitled the 2002 Trees, People and Towns Conference and will take place July 17-19, 2002 at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, South Dakota.

Speakers from the six-state area will give presentations on subjects ranging from park and community planting design, tough trees for the Great Plains, tree selection, planting and tree care basics to tree myths and the symbiotic relationship between trees and people. Selected communities will share success stories and there will be a tour of the Rapid City Riparian Park System and Arboretum. Entertainment will include a chuckwagon dinner with western humor, live music and an optional trip to Mount Rushmore for the evening lighting ceremony.

A great amount of effort has gone into keeping the cost of the conference affordable. Registration, which includes a conference cap and bag, entertainment, breaks and meals from Wednesday dinner through Friday lunch, costs $100.00. The Department of Agriculture, Resource Conservation and Forestry is offering 30 scholarships, first-come first-served, to South Dakota residents. Other states in the region offer similar assistance. Scholarships will cover full registration and dorm lodging. For more information and to get your name on the scholarship list, contact Dan McCormick at 1-800 228-5254 (in-state calls only) or 605-773-3594 or John Ball at 605-688-4737.

ON THE NATIONAL FRONT

President Bush Releases 2003 Budget  [back to top]

The President's Budget for 2003 seeks to inaugurate an era of accountability in the conduct of the nation's public business. The Administration will be keeping score on whether agencies are performing and getting results, using the "Executive Branch Management Scorecard." The Administration also seeks to improve the day-to-day management of the government by making management of human capital a top priority on the scorecard. The 2003 Budget directs each agency to prepare a five-year restructuring plan as part of its budget, basing the plan on the workforce analysis that it was required to prepare in 2001. The goal of that workforce analysis was to allow agencies to determine what skills they already had on board, what skills they needed to meet future demands, and how to address the increasing number of management layers. The scorecard will also grade agencies in four other areas: competitive sourcing, financial management, E-Government, and budget/performance integration.

Status of UCF in FY 2003 Budget   [back to top]

As noted in last month's edition of Coordinator News, the President's budget included $36.6 million for Urban and Community Forestry. The National Association of State Foresters is seeking $37.4 million for UCF, and the grassroots community is seeking $50 million with support from Congressman Jim Moran of Virginia (see Dear Colleague letter on front page of www.treelink.org ). March is the perfect month for urban forestry advocates to contact their congressional delegations and share with them the states accomplishments with federal funds. Here's how to contact members of the House of Representatives:

1. Ask for their natural resources staff person dealing with forestry issues.
2. When you reach that person or their voice mail, introduce yourself and draw their attention to a "Dear Colleague" letter recently sent by Congressman Jim Moran supporting strong funding for the Forest Service's Urban and Community Forestry Program within the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies. If you get a chance, mention your work in his/her district and the importance of federal funding for urban and community forestry.

Dear Colleague Letter  [back to top]

US Representative James P. Moran of Virginia issued the following letter to his colleagues in the full House of Representatives. This is only a quote; for the full letter, visit www.treelink.org "Trees in cities provide billions of dollars in clean water and air. Yet, urban forests are declining and decreasing at an alarming rate. I am asking for your support of the Urban and Community Forestry budget at $50 million in the Forest Services FY 2003 budget. This important line item directly improves the quality of life and the environment for over 80% of Americans, those of us who live in cities and towns. It provides the opportunity for cities to put their tree cover to work as green infrastructure that solves air and water quality issues. Through partnerships with state agencies and non-profit organizations, this program assists over 10,000 communities and provides over 1,450,000 hours of training and 1,000,000 hours of volunteer assistance. It's a good investment- every dollar spent leverages $2.40 in cash or in-kind services. Urban and community forestry is a financially sensible way to revitalize our cities and towns."

Forest Service Urban Forestry Research in Jeopardy  [back to top]

The grassroots community has sent out word that urban forestry research at the Forest Service has been targeted for reduction in funds. The overall loss to urban forest research in the Northeastern Research Station, which includes long-term ecosystem research in Baltimore, research into urban forest functions and benefits at the Syracuse Laboratory, and social science research out of Burlington Vermont totals $250,000. The Center for Urban Forest Research at Davis also is targeted for cuts totaling $75,000. While this may sound like a small dollar loss, the Alliance for Community Trees notes that it is a big hit for what little urban forest research there is. In addition, there are budget shifts to new initiatives that would require major staff changes resulting in an institutional loss of scientific staff. Essentially, base funding for existing research is cut, and new funding is added for new initiatives, with a net overall loss in total budget.

Farm Bill Update  [back to top]

Farm Bill negotiators struck agreement March 20 on the needed framework to speed negotiations for early April completion of the House-Senate Conference Report. This framework allows for incorporating the many policy initiatives within the overall $73.5 billion agreed-upon ten-year farm bill budget. The largest point of contention is the differences in commodity payments between the two bills. Other difficult issues include a senate provision regarding water rights, and funding for conservation programs. The House and Senate forestry titles have significant differences as well and there will likely be many compromises before a final bill can be adopted.

The Senate bill's Forestry Title includes several new programs of interest to urban and community forestry practitioners, including:

• $50 million for a "Suburban and Community Forestry and Open Space Initiative." Modeled on a bill sponsored by Sen. Collins, ME, it amends the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act to fund land acquisition in urban sprawl impacted areas. It would be administered through State and Private Forestry to State Foresters.
• $14 million to address Sudden Oak Death Syndrome through education, research, monitoring and treatment. It would create a national Sudden Oak Death Syndrome Advisory Committee to advise the Secretary of Agriculture.
• $20 million for a Watershed Forestry Assistance Program that would provide to States, through State Foresters, technical, financial and related assistance. The program goals are to strengthen forest stewardship in watersheds and promulgate BMPs to private landowners and to prevent water quality degradation. A new watershed forestry cost-share program would be created.

In Washington, environmental public interest groups have focused advocacy efforts on members of the Conference Committee, urging support for the conservation title of the Senate version, particularly for wildlife conservation programs. Contact your senator for additional information about the above programs.

National Assessment of Urban and Community Forestry  [back to top]

By way of background, the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council (NUCFAC) is conducting an assessment of our nation's urban and community forestry programs. The first goal of this assessment is to develop a comprehensive database of local, state, regional, and national organizations around the country and provide a way for them to connect with each other. In order for this database to be as comprehensive as possible, you can complet a simple survey at NUCFAC@Aslangroup.net and advise Aslan if you have questions or know of other organizations that should be included in the survey. The information generated will be placed on the NUCFAC-designated web site (www.Treelink.org) to serve as a national database for urban and community forestry groups. Contact and general organizational information will be in a format that can be accessed, downloaded, and sorted. The more participation we are able to generate, the more helpful this inventory will be.

Eddie Bauer Pledges Memorial Groves   [back to top]

Thousands of trees will be planted in New York City, Washington, DC/Virginia, and Pennsylvania to honor the men, women, and children who lost their lives in the Sept. 11 attack on the United States. Specialty retailer Eddie Bauer, through its Memorial Tree Groves program, has pledged $500,000 to help American Forests plant trees in remembrance of each victim of the assault. Eddie Bauer is currently raising funds for the program by inviting customers and store associates to add a dollar or more to their in-store, catalog, or online purchases. Visit www.eddiebauer.com.

Envirocast

DC NBC Channel 4 has initiated a pilot project aimed at making nationwide weathercasts into "environcasts." They launched the project with a feature story on the Chesapeake Bay that includes an interview with EPA Chief Christine Todd Whitman. A new "Watershed" feature will highlight the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. Developed by former NBC meteorologist and project mastermind Dave Jones and his crew at StormCenter.Com, the WeatherNet 4 site gets two-three million visitors each month. Many of the satellite images and tips you see on the NBC 4 website will be used on the air. Over the next two months additional content, resources and links will be added as well as new feature stories on such topics as urban forests, drinking water, sprawl and coastal development, stream monitoring and water quality data from local watershed/conservation organizations. Eventually, this initiative could have application at all local networks. To see a 2-minute streaming video of the launch of the TV weather and watershed project go to: www.nbc4.com/weather/ and just click on the words "the Watershed Project."

Converting Brownfields to Green Space

http://206.161.193.145/cgi-bin/iedc.cgi
Published in December 2001 by International Economic Development Council, this book shows that many communities are finding unique social, economic, and environmental benefits from turning brownfields into parks and open space-benefits such as recreation opportunities and transportation choices, restored natural environments, improved community appearance and perception, and higher surrounding property values. The report includes 25 case studies illustrating innovative brownfield redevelopment projects in the United States and provides information on funding sources, liability, and creative partnerships. The publication is intended to help local practitioners develop their own strategies for creating valuable public green spaces from brownfields.
