Tree
Canopy Analysis
A tree canopy analysis
is a study of where trees
are located within an area
and how much area the tree
canopy covers. This allows
us to identify areas that
need more tree cover so
that we may plant trees
in a more strategic way.
The tree canopy cover analysis will identify the extent of the existing tree canopy, identify the potential for new tree plantings, and quantify future benefits associated with planting one million
trees.
The City of Los Angeles currently has a tree canopy cover of 21%. The national average for tree canopy cover is 27%. Help us make L. A. greener.
