EarthWorks Expo, June 21, 2008
Denver, CO

The Institute for Environmental Solutions (IES) presented a Workshop at this year's EarthWorks Expo at the Merchandise Mart in Denver. IES's presentation, given by Kristen Bertuglia, Desirée Thorp and Ryan Moore, was:

The Right Tree in the Right Place for Environmental Improvement

Did you know that trees are good for the environment? Maybe you did, but did you know that they can be bad for it too? Most trees are planted without considering their environmental costs and benefits. Some trees need a lot of water – a precious resource along the Front Range – while others will sequester tons of carbon over their lifetime and save a home-owner money on their utility bill. IES’s workshop presented the tradeoffs of trees, which species to plant, where to plant them and how to care for them to realize the most benefit.
