Autumn winds stop a girl on a sidewalk in Portland, Maine. The leaves that surround her are from maples, oaks, and dozens of other species, the result of an aggressive tree-planting program in the 1970s. Long called the “Forest City,” Portland maintains at least 20,000 trees today, including about a hundred elm trees that survived a 1960s outbreak of Dutch Elm disease.
秋風使一個小女孩停留在緬因州波特蘭市的人行道上。她周圍的葉子有楓葉,橡樹葉以及幾十個其他樹種的葉子。波特蘭市現在這么多的樹種是因為20世紀70年代一個植樹項目產生的結果。長期以來,波特蘭市被稱為“森林城”,現在至少保留著2萬棵樹,其中包括約100棵榆樹。這些榆樹是在20世紀60年代所爆發的荷蘭榆樹病中幸存下來的。
