One Tree Planted

America's cities need trees. Trees in cities provide countless benefits for local communities - from reducing urban heat to increasing access to urban green spaces, to protecting clean air & water, and much more. Unfortunately, trees are not distributed equally: communities of color and low-income communities are disproportionately affected by climate change and need urban trees now more than ever. This fund will provide for 27 planting projects across 24 of America's cities, supporting the health and livelihood of millions.

From Phoenix, Arizona to Detroit, Michigan - from the urban wilderness in Portland to the streets of New Orleans still facing the impacts of Hurricane Katrina - this first selection of coast-to-coast urban forestry projects will result in the planting of nearly 11,000 new urban trees.
