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.
秋风使一个小女孩停留在缅因州波特兰市的人行道上。她周围的叶子有枫叶,橡树叶以及几十个其他树种的叶子。波特兰市现在这么多的树种是因为20世纪70年代一个植树项目产生的结果。长期以来,波特兰市被称为“森林城”,现在至少保留着2万棵树,其中包括约100棵榆树。这些榆树是在20世纪60年代所爆发的荷兰榆树病中幸存下来的。
