Portland Parks & Recreation's Urban Forestry team is on a mission to enhance tree canopy in the city by planting over 1,000 free young street trees. These plantings are specifically designated for neighborhoods lacking sufficient tree cover, which has intensified heat during summer months, promoting both environmental and public health benefits.
The initiative aims to combat urban heat islands by increasing greenery in underserved areas. With tree canopy providing shaded relief, residents can expect improved air quality and reduced city temperatures, fostering a healthier community atmosphere.
