More trees are now lining Prospect Street, thanks to the efforts of the Urban Resources Initiative (URI) at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (F&ES). The planting took place during the Yale Sustainability Summit March 31-April 4.

The new planting is admired by (foreground, from left) Lisa Fernandez, program manager at F&ES; Randler; Kim Yuan Farrell, an M.A. student interning with URI; Lin; (background, from left) F&ES student Shanti Karanjit; Colleen Murphy-Dunning, director of URI; and Professor William Burch, founder of URI.
