Social Benefits of Resident Involvement in Tree Planting: Comparison with Developer-Planted Trees    (View PDF)

Robert Sommer, Fred Learey, Joshua Summit and Matthew Tirrell

Abstract: Residents who planted a yard tree as part of a community shade tree program were more satisfied with the outcome than residents of the same neighborhood who had not been associated with the program. Satisfaction was lowest among those whose trees had been planted by a developer. Block planting sessions allowed neighbors to provide mutual assistance and become better acquainted.
