Description

Charlotte's known for its lush tree canopy - if you've flown into the city, you know how it feels a bit like landing in a forest when you approach. But that canopy is under threat. We're losing three football fields a day worth of trees. And the trees we have aren't equitably distributed, with lower-income and minority neighborhoods enjoying significantly less canopy cover. In a warming world, trees matter more than ever. Learn about the future of Charlotte's tree canopy with Doug Shoemaker, a UNC Charlotte researcher and expert.
