Trees are one of our most valuable resources. In addition to providing shade and beautifying our streets our urban trees capture and clean stormwater runoff, remove pollution from the air, store carbon, and produce oxygen. Trees have been proven to reduce stress and improve concentration. Our trees improve our communities.
StreetsLA has contracted Davey Resource Group to conduct the first inventory of our 700,000 street trees since the late 1990s. Davey’s licensed arborists will visit and assess each street tree, stump, and vacant planting location. This inventory will help to strategically manage our Urban Forest, identify planting opportunities, calculate tree-related benefits, and will be continuously updated with ongoing forestry activities. The tree inventory is on-going, check out the tree inventory map here. LEARN MORE…
