Text
Bill Intelligence

This bill aims to address disparities in urban tree canopy distribution, with a focus on increasing tree cover in communities of color and low-income areas. The bill establishes the Neighborhood Tree Fund, providing financial assistance to states, tribes, and local entities for community tree planting and maintenance. It emphasizes engagement with communities and prioritizes projects in high-poverty areas or those with lower tree cover and higher summer temperatures. The bill also amends the composition of the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council to include members from smaller communities and low-income areas. The proposed funding for the Neighborhood Tree Fund increases annually, starting with $100 million for fiscal year 2025.
