- Native Trees for the Urban Landscape
Garrett Ormiston, GIS & Stewardship Specialist, Natural Areas Division, Cleveland Museum of Natural History
Our tree canopy—a natural system with water, air, and energy benefits plus economic and aesthetic value too! Native trees minimize maintenance and maximize benefit.

Our urban soil is "disturbed." Get the dirt on our dirt—its composition and structure and how we can replenish it.
