What to Do When You Hear Chainsaw Activity in the Forest

Watch our Documentary, Use our Toolkit!

Developed with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, this short documentary explores the current state and future of urban forestry in Connecticut through a statewide collaborative project.

This film is part of an initiative to engage non-environmental community groups in urban forestry grants and programs.

If you are interested in getting involved in urban forestry, explore our toolkit for resources and guidance. It includes:

  • Animated videos and infographics on tree benefits
  • Activities for all ages
  • Information on how to join our lender program of community science kits!
