Experts report cities worldwide lose forests and urban trees as growth expands. Satellite data show cities are removing large areas of tree cover. U S cities have shed over a third of their prime tree canopy in the past quarter century.
When a city loses trees it loses more than beauty. Trees absorb pollution cut energy costs and help cool buildings. If many trees are removed the city could pay millions more to clean up smog and reduce cooling expenses.
Many groups work to save and plant trees in cities. The USDA Forest Service funds Millennial Groves of 100 trees per state. Forest Service EPA and DOE help cities plant and care for trees. Earth Day marks 30 years since its start on April 22.
