Over the years, natural outdoor environments in cities have decreased with increasing urbanization. The City of Philadelphia's Greenworks Program is a plan to increase tree canopy, or greenspace. A team of Forest Service researchers set out to discover where increasing tree cover across Philadelphia would help more of the city's residents to live longer.
Michelle Kondo, a Northern Research Station scientist, studies the many benefits trees provide and the ways cities are investing in programs to expand tree cover.
A study of the association between self-reported health and the closeness of trees near homes found that participants who had more trees closer to them were healthier. There's even evidence suggesting that trees, compared with other forms of urban vegetation, have a profound impact upon human health and wellbeing.
