Trees adsorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to offset greenhouse gas emissions. Trees also improve shade canopies, allowing for increased walkability/bikeability along City streets, further reducing GHG emissions from traditional fossil fuel transport. They also provide habitats for local wildlife, increase property values, lessen energy usage if planted appropriately, etc. West Palm Beach established its 10,000 Trees in 10 Years free tree giveaway program in 2015. Three gallon trees are given away to confirmed West Palm Beach residents and businesses, to improve the tree canopy coverage into the future as the trees grow. The trees are distributed at City events and recipients are educated on where to plant their trees and how to maintain them. The program will conclude in 2025. | The City has just recently concluded its draft vulnerability and risk assessment with the NEMAC+FernLeaf group, and will be using this assessment to identify new metrics based strictly on adaptation efforts.
