Join the movement
American Forests developed Tree Equity Score to address damaging environmental inequities in tree distribution common to cities and towns all across the U.S. Tree Equity Score establishes an equity-first standard to guide investment in critical urban tree infrastructure, starting with neighborhoods with the greatest need.
We created Tree Equity Score so that every person has the information they need to advocate for the health and resilience of their community.
American Forests partners with corporations, foundations, government agencies, community-based organizations, community leaders, nonprofit organizations and academic institutions at the local, state and federal levels to advance Tree Equity. Tree Equity Score was made possible by the generous financial support from partners.
