Los Angeles Urban Forest Initiative

The Los Angeles Urban Forest Initiative is a program aimed at increasing and maintaining the city’s tree canopy to improve the urban environment. By planting and caring for trees throughout the city, it helps reduce air pollution, mitigate the heat island effect, enhance stormwater management, and provide natural beauty and shade. The initiative involves community participation, partnerships, and sustainable practices to ensure healthy trees that support public health, climate resilience, and overall quality of life in Los Angeles.
