No Tree Left Behind

Description

What can we learn about trees that once were?  Can we measure them?  Yes, thanks to the power of GIS! Washington, DC stands apart from most other US cities when it comes to trees.  Trees were considered so essential that they were included as an integral part of Pierre L'Enfant's original design.  The L'Enfant Plan, drafted in 1791, reserved space in the public right-of-way exclusively for trees. Learn how we are ensuring Washington, DC Remains the  "City of Trees." Agency Website.
