INEQUALITY.

Tree inequality is rampant across the United States, disproportionately affecting BIPOC neighborhoods. Urban Forestry Project works in 30 cities nationwide to plant trees in under-resourced communities, bringing green spaces where they are most needed and raising awareness for the importance of equitable tree distribution for the health of all communities.
