Quick answer

What is an urban forest?

An urban forest is tree cover planted in and around cities: on campuses, industrial sites, roadsides and public land. It cools streets, cleans air, absorbs rainwater and gives people green space. Grow Billion Trees plans, plants and cares for urban forests using native species, including dense Miyawaki forests where space is tight.
