According to MillionTreesNYC, the purpose of its 2010 research symposium, which will be held March 5-6 in New York City, is to showcase research and projects that contribute to knowledge on urban landscapes, green infrastructure, and public health in cities and urban areas.

The organization is soliciting papers on research that is either completed or substantially in progress that addresses diverse science questions in environmental, ecological, water and air quality issues. It’s more important that ever to be cognizant of how these affect the landscape industry and your business.

This symposium is intended to reflect the state of knowledge in the broader research communities in the fields of natural resource management, ecology, social sciences as applied to large scale, urban forestry campaigns in cities across the country and globally.
