by Mikayla Finnerty
EVERETT, SEPT 25: The Snohomish Conservation District is collaborating with the City of Everett to plant thousands of trees to increase the Urban Forest Canopy in designated communities by the end of 2028.
The goal of the project is to increase the tree canopy in specific neighborhood areas that have historically lacked sufficient trees, Alberto Vazquez, city parks & facilities outreach coordinator, wrote in an email.
Eligible locations are in Twin Creeks, Westmont, Evergreen, Pinehurst, Riverside, Port Gardner and Delta neighborhoods. A full map of the designated areas can be found here.
The trees will help address environmental issues by creating livable and walkable neighborhoods, increasing air quality and environmental health, and improving social equity through access to nature, the program website reads.
