How To Use the Tree Equity Score

Does your neighborhood have enough trees? American Forests has created Tree Equity Score as a free tool to ensure trees are planted in communities that need them the most. Tree Equity Score combines information from various sources to create a single measure from 0 to 100. The lower the score, the greater the need for investment. If you have a score of 100, you have enough trees. Follow along as Julia Twichell, Director of Data Science & UX, walks you through the Tree Equity Score application—a game-changer in urban forestry.
