Tampa to plant 30,000 trees by 2030 to restore city’s canopy - eviltoast

TAMPA, Fla. - The city of Tampa will be adding hundreds of trees in two communities as part of the mayor’s mission to plant 30,000 new trees by 2030.

“We were known, previously, as having one of the best tree canopies in the world,” Mayor Jane Castor said. “Every five years, USF does a tree study in the city. This last tree study showed that we had lost approximately 8% of our canopy. And so, we are doing all that we can to replace that and replace it with trees that make a difference.”
