- Students learned tools and methods for identifying communities that would benefit the most from increased urban forest stewardship.
- Students learned skills for recognizing and stewarding urban trees as critical assets for community and environmental health.
- Students completed projects to help increase community well-being and urban forest resiliency, and had opportunities to address the inequities in disadvantaged areas.
