Number of trees tended and surveyed by Canopy staff, youth interns, and tree care volunteers. Planting trees is just the beginning; it takes long-term commitment to create a thriving urban forest. Proper care during trees' first few years leads to healthier mature trees that need less maintenance and provide long-lasting benefits.
