In New York City, the Value of Urban Trees Adds Up

Year: 2019

New York City’s urban forest produces cleaner air, lower energy costs, reduced ultraviolet radiation, and less storm water in the city’s sewer system. USDA Forest Service scientists and partners analyzed a sample of the city’s 7 million trees and found that they provide services with an annual value of more than $100 million.

This map displays the current (2017) status of urban FIA implementation. Inventory monitoring has begun in those cities in bold font and the year the inventory began is also indicated.

Forest Inventory and Analysis Urban Monitoring Expands to Include 26 Cities
