The City of Urbana, Illinois has just released its second edition of "Under the Canopy: Creating Personal Greenspace," a guide for selecting, planting, and caring for trees.
The first edition of Under the Canopy was published in 2007. The new edition includes a variety of tips and how-tos from professionals throughout the state for developing a home or neighborhood landscape. The guide can also be unfolded to reveal a full color poster of 31 new, lesser known, or native trees that will work well in the Urbana area.
