Now demonstration sites are needed to introduce these new species into the urban landscape and to inform both nursery growers and the public about these new species.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read more about<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emnrd.nm.gov\/sfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Demonstration-Garden-Policies_022025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Goals &amp; Requirements <\/a>for being a Climate Ready Demonstration Site.<o:p><\/o:p><br \/><o:p><\/o:p><\/li>\n<li>View the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emnrd.nm.gov\/sfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Monitoring-Form.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monitoring Form<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Tree Species available for Spring 2025: Atlas Cedar, Chinese Pistache, Ginkgo, Lacebark Elm, Osage Orange, Shumard Oak, Texas Redbud, Texas Mountain Laurel<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">For questions about the program and to submit completed applications, contact Kristen Sanders\u00a0at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:Kristen.Sanders@emnrd.nm.gov\" title=\"mailto:Kristen.Sanders@emnrd.nm.gov\" data-linkindex=\"1\">Kristen.Sanders@emnrd.nm.gov<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;Tree Inventories&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/pg-cloud.com\/NewMexico\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;To view existing communities&#8217; inventories click here!&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#1D4784&#8243; body_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#030303&#8243; body_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#1D4784&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/pg-cloud.com\/NewMexico\/&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>To manage public trees you need to know what you have, where it is, and what condition it is in.

It has information on individual tree&#8217;s age, condition, and work history which you can combine to analyze your community&#8217;s entire tree canopy. you can then identify areas that need trees, plot out planting sites, prioritize tree work, and know the species and age diversity of your community&#8217;s trees.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in signing up for a FREE account to inventory your trees contact Alyssa O&#8217;Brien at alyssa.obrien@emnrd.nm.gov.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_blurb use_icon=&#8221;on&#8221; font_icon=&#8221;&#xe092;||divi||400&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;151cae4d-9a10-46aa-ba62-fc33b1e8d819&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px|20px|0px|40px|true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0em||0em||true|false&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.emnrd.nm.gov\/sfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/CommunityForestInventoriesWorkshop.pdf&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>View a presentation by Urban Forest Council on Community Forest Inventories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;Continuing Community Tree Education Scholarships&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.emnrd.nm.gov\/sfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/UFC-Scholarship-Application.pdf&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Continuing Community Tree Education Scholarship Application&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#1D4784&#8243; body_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#030303&#8243; body_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#1D4784&#8243; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>We are offering scholarships to provide opportunities to participate in workforce development activities that will ultimately build local capacity to care for community and urban forests.
