Looking for a special screensaver or a textbook urban forestry school program?

Follow TreeLink to Baton Rouge Green, another great nonprofit organization in the spotlight in WoodNotes. BRG is a member of the national Alliance for Community Trees.

Executive Director Lynn Morris and the folks at Baton Rouge Green outline the benefits of urban greenery through education, advice and a special school program, all available through an exceptional web site.

Says Ms. Morris, "We believe that our urban forest is an integral component of the urban infrastructure. It mitigates many problems of urban development and can operate as an environmentally friendly alternative to costly technologies by lowering energy use, reducing air pollution, and reducing storm water runoff. Other benefits include improvements in physical and mental health and well being, community aesthetics and increased property values. That is a big return on a small investment.
