#streettrees — Public Fediverse posts

This is Erythrina but I didn't notice any vicious spines. Maybe it has been tamed for urban planting.

Yet another reason why we need more street trees, trees in parks, urban woodlands and easily accessible forests. We all know a walk through a grove of trees makes us feel good, smells great, and keeps us cool in the sun and shields us from the rain and wind!

Never underestimate the value of prioritizing space for a double row of serious street trees that can create a “kissing canopy” over your sidewalks in downtowns and urban places. #StreetTrees

I have jumped into my #thesis work, looking at the associations between #access to #GreenSpace—such as that found in #parks, #gardens, #forests, #HikingTrails, #GreenRoofs, and #StreetTrees—and various #HealthOutcomes. I am also looking at #WillingnessToPay for access to green space in consideration of its health-promoting effects. 3/6

What if every street tree was a story waiting to be read?

A tarot deck as urban lens: noticing care, damage, creativity, and the quiet relationships that hold cities together. Matthew López-Jensen & Lindsay Campbell show us that nothing in the city has to change — only how you look at it.

And once you start noticing… the city starts asking something back.

Greene King are proposing to remove a large tree from suburban Sheffield. This may or may not be the case but appears to be so, judging by comments on Facebook. I am going to contact directly to ask. #sheffieldstreettrees #sheffield #streettrees #woodseats

Bright pink crabapples. This tree was so odd: the crabapples were growing on short spurs all over the branches, so that it looked like a bright pink knobby mossy hedgehog tree. I couldn't get a good shot at it, but maybe I'll try again.

I do not understand why folks would plant #HorseChestnuts as #StreetTrees. If we are going to have spikey projectiles falling on people's heads, could we at least choose the non-poisonous variety?

Let’s build giant tree circles in every Seattle neighborhood

A few weeks ago, my spouse Kelli and I were talking about how to bring together the desire for large old trees in our city and our need to better calm traffic and improve biking and school walk routes. Watching the story unfold this week about folks protesting to stop the removal of a western red cedar from private property brought our conversation back to the front of my mind. I understand why people care so much about trees because I am one of them, but tree advocacy too often morphs into fighting against increasing our housing supply. These things don’t need to be mutually exclusive. That’s where the giant tree circle comes in. Here’s a rough sketch:

Ryan DiRaimo posted a somewhat similar idea over at the Urbanist recently that could be applied to nearly every residential intersection. It calls for the city to create tree planting areas in the existing no-parking zones 20 feet from each sidewalk curb cut and 30 feet from each stop sign. So long as the new planting areas are planned properly so that they do not reduce visibility at the intersection, it’s a great idea for increasing planted space and stormwater retention.

The giant tree circle concept goes a step further. If we purposefully dedicated a whole intersection to supporting a single tree (or cluster if that’s what the trees prefer), we could give it the space to grow as large as it wants to grow over the next generation or two (or three or four). Because it lives in dedicated public right of way, the people would own it rather than relying on private property owners to protect it. The giant tree circle concept would be for special locations where two neighborhood walking and biking routes intersect, such as two neighborhood greenways/healthy streets or routes to school or shared streets. SDOT could dead-end the streets for driving and create a special area that allows for walking and biking while also creating a mini park. Lose some of the pavement, preserve paths for walking and biking, then maybe add some benches or a small play structure or a BBQ grill or public art or whatever fits each micro neighborhood’s needs and desires. Planning and creating the space could be a fantastic community-building exercise. At the center could be a glorious tree of a species that dramatically stands out from the rest. I love the idea that a person walking or biking could navigate a neighborhood using giant trees as waymarkers. “Turn left at the giant tree, then my house is two more blocks on the right.”

By reserving a large radius around the tree or tree cluster at the center of the intersection, SDOT’s excellent street tree program could plant varieties that don’t fit in typical planting strips. I am no arborist, so I do not know which varieties of tree would be best suited for this idea, but I do know that many varieties of giant trees make terrible street trees due to their pavement-destroying root systems and, well, their size. SDOT maintains a helpful database of street tree varieties that work in different situations (such as different planting strip widths or under power lines). SDOT’s arborists will know which tree varieties would thrive if given a radius potentially several times larger than most street trees get.

This is not a completely new idea. Seattle already has a bunch of examples of older neighborhood traffic circles where trees have been able to grow to significant heights, though those intersections are still typically open to traffic. Perhaps the best example is at 17th and Republican, where a 1970s-era traffic diverter forces car traffic to turn while allowing walking and biking. At the center is a planting area with an impressive tree.

There’s also this large traffic circle at 17th Ave NE/NE 63rd Street/NE Naomi Place that has paths through it and a bench in the middle:

I absolutely love these intersections, and I wish the city had copied these successes in more places because they are unfortunately rare. Fully occupying the intersections would take things a step further, creating more space for community. Removing some pavement reduces the stress on the stormwater system, and additional water retention elements could be incorporated into the design (perhaps Seattle Public Utilities could be a partner).

We also loved this playground we stumbled across in Amsterdam that was built within the street right of way:

Planting more trees within city-owned right of way, whether a giant tree circle or through the city’s great Trees for Neighborhoods program, is also likely the fastest way to expand the tree canopy in places that have been historically underserved by the city’s greenery investments, especially low-income communities and communities of color. It’s not an accident that you have to look to Ravenna and a wealthier part of Capitol Hill to find the best examples of traffic circles that are so old they now have mature trees. Closing an intersection to cars also dramatically reduces traffic on the whole street, which is especially important on neighborhood greenways and healthy streets in parts of the north and south ends of the city that are missing sidewalks. Walking on-street can be safe for people of all ages and abilities if the traffic volumes are extremely low, but it only takes a little cut-through traffic to undermine safety and comfort. Traffic diverters eliminate a street’s role as a cut-through option.

Tree advocates can try to resist people cutting down trees on their private property, but that’s a losing battle. If someone really doesn’t want to keep their tree, there’s only so much anyone else can do about it. Instead, let’s expand public ownership of trees and keep looking for ways to add more trees within our public rights of way. There is a lot of extra public asphalt in our town sitting in spaces that could be put to better use for generations to come.

Did you know that a “kissing canopy” is when trees above a street or sidewalk grow to touch overhead, creating a cool, shaded place? Despite it being colder and darker these days, let’s remember the beauty and value that #StreetTrees add to our cities, IF we design for them. #KissingCanopies

Below is s list of those larger Canadian cities that are home to the most street trees. A minimum city population of 50,000 residents was required for inclusion on the list. Cities that have not been included meet one or more of the following:

• They do not publish the number of street trees in their community online.
• They do not separate out their number of street trees from other publicly owned trees in parks and open spaces. 
• They do not have a street tree program.
• They do not meet the minimum number of 2,000 street trees.

As additional information becomes available, the list will be updated accordingly. Peace!

Larger American cities with the most street trees

The following list identifies cities across the United States with populations exceeding 100,000 residents that have the most street trees. Fully one-third of all the cities listed are located in California, exemplifying the important of street trees to Californians.

Cities that have not been included meet one or more of the following:

• They do not meet the minimum number of 10,000 street trees.
• They do not publish the number of street trees in their community online.
• They do not separate out their number of street trees from other publicly owned trees.
• They do not have a street tree program.

Whenever possible, both publicly and privately owned street trees are included in these numbers. Many of the tallies provided are estimates that are rounded off by the local community. More exact numbers reveal cities where a street tree census has taken place. In those instances where an approximate range was provided online, this post utilized the midpoint of that range.

Given the importance of trees generally, and street trees specifically, in helping cool cities, as well as improved stormwater absorption, wildlife habitat, scenic beauty, and increased property values, most cities should be escalating their street tree and public tree planting efforts. The cost-benefit comparisons of trees are clearly in favor of their strong benefit to the community.

As additional information becomes available, the list will be updated accordingly.

Peace!

"This is El Ejercito de Arboles — The Tree Army — and Hernández is El Comandante, its commander. Hernández, a community activist who developed a following over years of tackling the city’s problems in humorous online posts, launched The Tree Army in May in response to growing complaints from his followers about vandalized trees in their neighborhoods. Its mission is to protect and improve Mexico City’s urban forest, whether it’s chipping away at unauthorized concrete, confronting illegal cutting or planting trees in areas of need." - https://apnews.com/article/trees-mexico-city-supercivicos-tree-army-activist-48f9b40dbd4e8d267c19383eb78b747f

#Berlin is a #greencity full of #meadows, #parks, #streettrees and wetlands and therefore also has considerable #urban #biodiversity. Lawns are not only attractive oases for all kinds of organisms, but also for #people. My YouTube video shows #streetview #impressions of the area in the area of ​​the #EastsideGallery and #Oberbaumbrücke in #Friedrichshain. Please give my YouTube #video a like.

Taha Ebrahimi's new book, Street Trees of Seattle: An Illustrated Walking Guide, is packed with local tree facts and her own drawings of the remarkable "hidden in plain sight" trees that grow in our public right-of-ways. Arts & Culture editor Brangien Davis took a walk with Ebrahimi to learn more about the inspiration for her book.

City street trees are in bloom, (dog walk special). These shrubs and trees are popular ornamentals in Seattle. The top photo is Japanese pieris, related to heathers. Then you have the coral pop of flowering quince. Next is a pale pink flowering cherry, one of hundreds lining Seattle streets. And then you have Harry Lauder's Walking Stick, a hazelnut with twisty branches used as a garden highlight.

#StreetTrees

In #Australia🇦🇺 Beyond the tree-lined high streets, many regional towns are lacking tree cover🌳 and experts say the reliance on cars 🚕 could be to blame.

Whats missing in this article? The impact on elderly, children and those who can't drive during #heatwaves.

Whilst dwelling on what data to use for Antarctica here's another Black and White map for day 2️⃣4️⃣ of #30DayMapChallenge (also a possible entry for Bad Map); street trees in Hamburg with "White", "Black", "nigra" or "alba" in vernacular or scientific name.

We returned from East #Otago via Central Otago and were delighted to find a #street lined with #crabapple trees in #Ranfurly, in full bloom. 05 October. So beautiful, and loud buzzing from all the busy bees working the #flowers

@enobacon yep, and it ain't the only one. It ain't the only one on that street, even.. I love those traffic circles..

Another reminder that urban density & lush street trees creating a “Kissing Canopy” over the sidewalk and street are completely compatible. It’s actually PART of #DensityDoneWell. You just have to make it a actual design priority. As this very dense block in my downtown #Vancouver neighbourhood illustrates.

The use of #AirConditioning to in increasing #heat can lead to more #GlobalWarming, through the use of electricity, the leakage of #refrigerants, and the #UrbanHeatIsland effect.

But cities can use a spectrum of #natural solutions for cooling, including planting #StreetTrees and installing #water structures that both give evaporative #cooling.

Walking around #NYC neighborhoods, often clogged with cars and debris and noise…

It still felt like a good day because the wildfire smoke blew off, and my nose got an olfactory overload on every random block with the amazingly sweet smell of #Linden #Tilia , American Basswood , Silver Leaf #StreetTrees are in full bloom around #NYC —

Thank you, all you folks planting and caring for urban trees.

I still got it.
