Robust discussion at the #9thAmericanforestcongress today on how to fund #urbanforestry plantings and maintenance. What ideas do you have?
Thank you, @RepStricklandWA for your leadership on the critical issue of urban heat.
To protect our communities, sometimes we need to get creative. I'm introducing legislation with @RepMikeLawler to bring more shade to urban areas, making our communities more walkable and resilient. Read: strickland.house.gov/2025/07/15/str…
🌳 Did you know? Tree-lined streets are cooler, quieter, and way more walkable. 🌿 🧊 Shade from trees can lower temps by up to 10F. 🔇 Their leaves and branches reduce city noise, which can help turn loud streets into peaceful paths. Next time you take a walk, thank #trees. 💚
The first in a series about ways to address urban heat starts today! Register here: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Still in the latest #BigBeautifulBill —selling off #publiclands & cutting initiatives that support #workingforests & expand tree canopy in communities at risk from #extremeheat #OBBB #OBBBA americanforests.org/article/americ…
It's true, selling off public lands for public housing is still in the bill. Weigh in with your Senators: secure.tpl.org/site/Advocacy?…
A dangerous plan to sell off millions of acres of public land is back—just days after a similar proposal was removed from the Senate’s budget bill. It was bad then, and it’s bad now. Public lands belong to all of us—not the highest bidder. Read more via TPL's @CarrieBHauser:…
The Senate has ruled Mike Lee's 2 to 3 million acre public land sell-off invalid, but he's vowing to come back with an updated version soon. Keep calling your senators 🚨 #NotForSale #PublicLands #FieldandStream
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee released their reconciliation/OBBBA portion. Take a look: energy.senate.gov/2025/6/chairma…
Yesterday, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chair Mike Lee (R-Utah) reinserted language into the budget reconciliation bill to sell off millions of acres of public lands in order to pay for tax cuts for wealthy people. Our statement: themountainpact.org/s/Senate-Budge…

🌡️ On Heat Awareness Day, remember: rising temps don’t impact all neighborhoods equally. 🌳 Trees save lives—cooling cities, cutting bills & preventing 1,200+ heat deaths/year. But tree cover is lacking where it’s needed most. Learn more👇americanforests.org/our-programs/t…
