Nick Haines convenes local policymakers, developers and environmental advocates to dig into the thorny issues raised in the Kansas City PBS documentary, The Politics of Trees. The public also weighs in, directly questioning decision-makers in a candid exchange about tree loss, extreme weather and the ongoing tug-of-war between rapid development and protecting Kansas City’s shrinking tree canopy.
