TREES FOR TOMORROW: AN INNOVATIVE MODEL FOR URBAN STEWARDSHIP
When a study revealed that two-thirds of Cleveland's urban forest was in poor condition or dead, Clean-Land, Ohio with Edward Howard, spearheaded an innovative program rallying the community around Cleveland's first major reforestation in decades. The nonprofit beautification group believed Cleveland's business community and citizens would plant and pay for 10,000 new trees over a three-year period as a gift for the city's 1996 Bicentennial. By Spring 1996 - riding the crest of an outpouring of financial, volunteer and media support - all 10,000 trees were in the ground, fully funded from private sources.
