Abstract

MillionTreesNYC is a citywide, public-private initiative with an ambitious goal: to plant and care for one million new trees across New York City's five boroughs by 2017. The Spring 2009 workshop MillionTreesNYC, Green Infrastructure, and Urban Ecology: Building a Research Agenda brought together more than 100 researchers, practitioners and New York City policymakers to collaboratively develop a research agenda to support the management, practice, and rationale for MillionTreesNYC and to contribute to the accumulating knowledge on the sociology and ecology of urban landscapes and green infrastructure. The workshop was organized by the Research & Evaluation Subcommittee of the MillionTreesNYC Advisory Board.
