Trees will be a key factor in fighting climate disruption and providing habitat for songbirds, pollinators, and beneficial insects. So we need to make educated decisions as to the types of trees we plant that are adapted to hotter, drier growing conditions of the future. David Salman will discuss the best tree choices and look at planting techniques that will enhance their ability to thrive with challenging growing conditions.
