    • Urban Forestry

    America’s cities need trees. Urban trees help reduce urban heat, increase resident’s access to green spaces, filter pollutants in the air & water, and 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.

    By donating to One Tree Planted’s Urban Forestry Action Fund, you will be supporting the health and livelihood of millions of people in cities across the United States.

    Why Plant Urban Trees?

    TREES NATURALLY COOL CITY TEMPERATURES

    Cities experience hotter temperatures than surrounding rural areas. In the face of global climate change, urban communities are experiencing even more intense heat waves, which disproportionately affect low-income residents. Increasing the canopy coverage of paved surfaces helps cool city neighborhoods while also reducing home energy consumption.

    TREES PROVIDE ACCESSIBLE COMMUNITY GREEN SPACES

    Trees are not evenly distributed to all communities. Increasing the tree canopy in under-resourced neighborhoods ensures that everyone has equitable accessto the critical ecosystem servicesand recreational opportunitiesthat trees provide.

    TREES FILTER OUR AIR AND WATER TO IMPROVE OUR HEALTH

    Trees absorb carbon dioxideand filter many of the pollutantsthat are found in our air and water. They play a critical role in improving air quality and, consequently, human health.

    Planting Projects

    Project Highlights

    Los Angeles Emerald Necklace

    This project will plant 300 trees at 8 sites across the Emerald Necklace — including 7 Title I public schools and a publicly accessible trail — to protect public health, improve stormwater mitigation, conserve habitat for biodiversity, and more.

    The Emerald Necklace is an interconnected loop of parks and greenways that connect 10 cities and nearly 500,000 residents along the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel River watershed areas of East Los Angeles County.

    Plant Urban Trees

    Miami Amelia Earhart Park

    This project will plant 476 trees throughout Amelia Earhart Park to protect an important community greenspace and reduce urban heat in an area that has experienced severe overdevelopment and tree canopy loss.

    Amelia Earhart Park is an important community greenspace that offers residents, including those from neighboring low-income communities, an escape into the natural world through a variety of unique recreational activities.

    Plant Urban Trees

    NYC Highbridge Park

    By planting 450 native trees on over 3 acres and across 3 sites, this project will mark a significant milestone in the process of reviving a critical urban forest, protecting community health, improving climate change resilience, and more.

    With over 8 million people relying on limited greenspaces for healthy recreational opportunities, New York City is the most populated city in the United States. Highbridge Park is located in upper Manhattan in a working-class neighborhood that is home to nearly 350,000 people.
