Derby (KS) - Benefits of Trees

Marketing brochure for an urban forest development project.

Derby has become a part of a national program called America the Beautiful, an initiative to reforest the country.

Why is this important?

• Derby will become a model for the country. No other city has developed a program to reforest its entire community.
• Derby will realize exceptional benefits. These are described in this brochure.
• This program will be completed with private donations only. No local tax dollars will be used.
• A grant has been made by the US Forest Service which covers most of the start-up costs in this first year. This allows maximum use of individual and corporate contributions for purchasing, planting and maintaining trees.
• Everyone in the community benefits.

This brochure describes the benefits of Urban Forests as well as the goals and objectives of our local project.
