In September’s Civic Conversation podcast, Canopy Bloomington’s Forestry Director Ava Hartman joins the podcast to talk about Bloomington’s tree canopy and its benefits to the Bloomington community.  Among the many benefits, according to Hartman, are their ability to mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in tree tissue.  Hartman also discussed the City of Bloomington’s 2019 Urban Tree Canopy Assessment and its findings.  Currently, Bloomington has over 38% tree canopy with an attainable tree canopy of 61%.
