공공데이터포털
,The launch of Sustainable DC in 2011 established a goal of achieving a citywide tree canopy goal of 40% by 2032. To track our progress toward this goal, DDOT's Urban Forestry Division performs land cover assessments every five (5) years. To date, four (4) studies have been conducted, spanning the period between 2006 and 2020.,
The District is on a mission to reach and maintain urban tree canopy coverage of 40% by 2032. Urban tree canopy is the layer of leaves, stems, and branches that cover the city. Among many other benefits, these trees improve our air and water quality, cool our neighborhoods, and provide critical habitat for birds and bees.
