Summary
The Neighborhood Tree Act creates a new fund within the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act to provide financial assistance for tree planting and maintenance projects. It targets states, Indian tribes, local governments and community tree groups, giving priority to high‑poverty and historically redlined neighborhoods. The goal is to improve public health, reduce heat islands, and address racial and income disparities in urban forest canopy cover.
