STAFF PHOTO ANTHONY REYES Razorback Road looking North to the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Monday Sept. 10, 2012 in Fayetteville. This section of road features a new tree canopy with both sides of the road and the median lined with young tree. A study funded through a grant will study the tree canopies in various cities. Fayetteville will be the first to have new and historic tree canopies examined.
The Arkansas Forestry Commission and five cities including Fayetteville and Little Rock are undertaking the state’s first large-scale study of what experts call the “urban tree canopy.”

Another prog-lib scam. Which is it, more trees in the roadway or less urban sprawl? By the way, which city's are they that visitors cannot breath the air?

So we spend money on counting trees? How about we look at the real issues like creating jobs or building roads?
