Expanding our urban tree canopy was a top priority for community members during the development of Vancouver’s Climate Action Framework. Thanks to your advocacy, one of the City’s early climate investment areas is increasing tree planting to sequester more carbon, mitigate hotter summer weather, and help address environmental justice disparities.
But we can’t do it alone! Studies show that private property has the most potential to grow Vancouver’s urban forest. Help us meet our community tree canopy goals by taking care of your current trees and planting native and drought-tolerant species at home.
