Code Green explores the impact that hurricanes have on urban greencover, from integrating trees and wetlands into a city's infrastructure and disaster plan, to post-hurricane damage assessment of city trees and coastal marshes, to recovery and rebuilding. Hear from scientists, city planners and urban foresters about their work to establish, protect and restore the green infrastructure in the wake of catastrophic hurricanes, in coastal cities from Charleston to New Orleans. This program, from Producer Gemma Hooley, airs as part of our ongoing series, Tales from Urban Forests.
Code Green was produced by Gemma Hooley for Soundprint's Tales from Urban Forests. The Editor was Sora Newman. The audio engineer was Jared Weissbrot. This program airs as part of the series, "Our Backyard Forests", with support from the USDA Forest Service.
