    Montreal street trees get more water than park trees due to leaking water mains under them. This can be traced due to the isotopically distinct lead found in the old lead pipes of the mains.

  15. UCLA: National shade map from UCLA and American Forests launched to combat deadly urban heat. “The Shade Map, now available through American Forests’ Tree Equity Score platform, shows where shade exists — and where it doesn’t — in 101 of the largest urbanized areas in the country, covering more than 360 cities and towns. It visualizes how shade from trees and buildings changes […]

  19. Larger American cities with the most street trees

    Source: earth.com

    The following list identifies cities across the United States with populations exceeding 100,000 residents that have the most street trees. Fully one-third of all the cities listed are located in California, exemplifying the important of street trees to Californians.

    Cities that have not been included meet one or more of the following:

    • They do not meet the minimum number of 10,000 street trees.
    • They do not publish the number of street trees in their community online.
    • They do not separate out their number of street trees from other publicly owned trees.
    • They do not have a street tree program.
    Source: caryinstitute.org

    Whenever possible, both publicly and privately owned street trees are included in these numbers. Many of the tallies provided are estimates that are rounded off by the local community. More exact numbers reveal cities where a street tree census has taken place. In those instances where an approximate range was provided online, this post utilized the midpoint of that range.

    Given the importance of trees generally, and street trees specifically, in helping cool cities, as well as improved stormwater absorption, wildlife habitat, scenic beauty, and increased property values, most cities should be escalating their street tree and public tree planting efforts. The cost-benefit comparisons of trees are clearly in favor of their strong benefit to the community.

    As additional information becomes available, the list will be updated accordingly.

    Peace!
