The partnership will conduct a comprehensive survey of trees located in public rights-of-way city parks.

"This tree inventory project is a big leap forward in caring for our trees and growing Louisville’s tree canopy. By understanding where they are and what they need, we’re not just preserving our canopy, we’re creating a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come. I'm incredibly proud to see our city take this step toward growing a stronger urban forest,” said Mayor Craig Greenberg.
