Urban trees have an immense impact on our daily life by providing cooling effects, clean air, and aesthetic beauty to our neighborhoods. We enjoy being in the park, out for nature but we hardly know the trees surrounding us that provide high value in urban settlements. Let’s ditch the screen this summer, reconnect with nature, and explore trees.

Check out our Tree Canopy Preservation playlist on our YouTube channel.
Over the summer, our team of interns produced a number of useful videos about the tree canopy in Long Branch. Some help you learn how to identify different species of trees found in Long Branch. Some were designed to help you care for the trees you have. We’ve archived them all on our new YouTube channel.
You can browse the LBNA YouTube channel to select the videos that are most meaningful to you, or we’ve created a playlist of all of our videos on Tree Canopy Preservation.
Here are couple of videos to help get you started.
