City of Columbus: Urban-forestry master plan calls for increasing tree canopy 40%
Trees are beautiful, are good for the environment and enhance property values.
But in Columbus, most neighborhoods don't have enough of them, according to the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department.
After 18 months of planning and involving community groups, individuals, companies and professionals, Columbus recreation and parks officials have released the urban-forestry master plan, which seeks to grow the canopy by 40% across the city.
Columbus had a 22% overall tree canopy, lower than many of its peer cities, such as Pittsburgh (40%), Cincinnati (39%) and Louisville, Kentucky, (37%), according to the plan.
“The tree canopy refers to the part of a city that is shaded by trees,” according to the master plan.
