No Yard Too Small: Missouri Native Trees and Shrubs for Your Urban Landscape

Presented by Billy Haag – Forest ReLeaf

Not all urban lots have room for a large canopy tree—but that doesn’t mean trees and shrubs are off the table. In this presentation, Billy Haag explores a diverse selection of Missouri native trees and shrubs that are well suited for urban landscapes, small yards, and tight spaces. Learn how to thoughtfully expand your planting palette while supporting wildlife, increasing canopy cover, and strengthening local ecosystems.
