The tree canopy within cities has become a growing concern in municipalities worldwide as urbanization has led to land-use conversion and loss of urban forests. The benefits of tree canopy in mitigating the negative effects of air pollution, atmospheric carbon dioxide, storm water runoff, and environmental and social factors such as human health and property values, have led to an increasing desire to stop or reverse the losses in canopy cover. The current average canopy cover in the DFW area is 29% against a target of 37% by 2040, and the statistic is lower in areas of economic inequity. Not only would the lives of any visitors to the parks for the next 100+ years be impacted, so would the lives of residents in adjacent neighborhoods and the children enjoying the playgrounds (500-1,000 lives and more impacted). Additionally, these trees will provide a benefit to the entire community through cooling the air, sequestering carbon, and helping reduce runoff from rainfall. If we act now, tree planting could cut carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by up to 25 percent, to levels last seen almost a century ago. Planting trees is relatively cheap and our tree planting efforts recognize the importance of trees for planet and human health.
One Earth One Chance' mission is to think globally and act locally by:
1. Growing and maintaining urban forests and greenery
2. Reducing plastic and waste through Parks cleanup or “Plalking”
3. Using green products and spreading awareness about sustainable living
The cost of 30-45 gallon containerized trees and irrigation is included in the cost of $500 per tree. We are also trying to raise $50,000 in funds for 100 trees in spring 2024.
