Officials plan to conduct outreach to the public for planning and participation in the project. Grant-funded activities will include planting and preserving trees through well expansions and removal of tree grates. Widener said thousands of trees will be planted thanks to the federal funding. Officials say a greater urban canopy cools city streets, improves air quality and has links to improved health outcomes.
