Publisher's Summary
Natural green cover provides a variety of benefits for urban areas: it recycles carbon dioxide, helps with watershed issues and mitigates heat island effects. In an effort to capture some of those benefits, communities in arid environments often will introduce non-native species, including deciduous forests, in parks and common areas. However, arid environments have their own "green" cover, and cities destroy and ignore that vegetation to their peril. Veteran producer Bill Drummond travels out West from mountains to shore to ask: when are trees beneficial and when are they not?
