About the Book

Did you know that racism in America has not only affected people's social and political views, but it has also affected our cities' urban trees and green spaces?

Inside Racist Roots, you'll discover...

  • How our nation's troubling history with racism has affected urban forests across the country
  • Specific steps you can take to participate in the movement for healthier urban forests for all people in the cities and towns where you live
  • How you can help change our current system to be inclusive and fair to the people most affected (namely residents in majority Black neighborhoods and communities of color)
  • How to foster diverse leadership in urban forestry and have an abundance mindset to keep the momentum going and create a brighter future for everyone in our cities
Whether you are new to this topic or a seasoned veteran, this book will show you what environmental justice truly means as well as how you can make the most of your involvement in the movement to grow past our racist roots into a fairer future for urban forests and the people in our communities!
