AFFIRMING SUPPORT FOR THE EXPANSION OF PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS THAT INCREASE TREE CANOPY COVERAGE AND INSTALL SHADE TREES IN URBAN AREAS TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF URBAN HEAT ISLANDS ACROSS THE STATE.

Summary

The concurrent resolution asks state and county agencies to work together to assess heat‑island conditions, identify priority neighborhoods with low tree cover, and integrate shade‑tree planting into capital projects and community plans. It targets urban residents—especially children, elders, medically vulnerable people, and low‑income communities—seeking health, energy‑cost, and environmental benefits. The measure does not allocate funding but calls for coordinated planning and best‑practice guidance.
