[CANUFNET] US Trust for Public Land: *New City Parks Report Download Link*

[Sadia Butt]

FYI

Below is a very interesting group, though in the US, that has a link to a
City Parks Facts Report.

I have inserted a brief that shows a good news story of increasing urban
forest acreage in Louisville, Kentucky. Like the way that urban forests are
highlighted.

*TPL's Will Rogers Blogs for Huffington Post: Health Care and City Parks*

This week, TPL's president, Will Rogers joined the Huffington
Post<http://contacts.tpl.org/site/R?i=8FxRr6d8pvyDbzkQ9QftrQ..>green
section's line-up of opinion shapers, leading with a subject that has
received great scrutiny of late: the health benefits of city parks. Recent
TPL research includes a poll conducted by Harris
interactive<http://contacts.tpl.org/site/R?i=LfTXFWGjOmrHfQbqD4gJHA..>and
the Center for City Park Excellence's newest annual report, City
Park Facts, <http://contacts.tpl.org/site/R?i=kLB9H1nmEMA6ZmFcmwdqsA..> a
collection of statistics on acreage, spending and other information on parks
in the nation's 77 largest cities. Both show that parks are important to
families, cities, and human health and support Rogers' observation that
while park funding may seem logical to cut during an economic downturn, just
the opposite is true.
