Trees for Tampa is a tree planting program managed jointly by the City’s Sustainability and Resilience and City Planning Departments. It offers a comprehensive approach to increasing our tree canopy on city-owned property and along right-of-ways. The program aims to:
- Combat tree canopy loss
- Mitigate urban heat island effects
- Expand Tampa’s overall tree-planting efforts
