The national tree canopy assessment tool will empower community leaders with the data and insights needed to plant and protect trees where they’re needed most,” said Dan Lambe, chief executive officer of the Arbor Day Foundation. “We can all play a role in shaping a better future and this tool will help guide that work, maximizing the positive impact community trees can have.” The national tree canopy assessment will help community leaders to assess tree loss and prioritize tree planting projects in areas of need, utilizing high-resolution aerial imagery. Users can view land cover statistics, development patterns, and individual tree canopies, all summarized down to the census block group. This interactive resource is available at [TreesAtWork.org](https://hub.treesatwork.org/). More resources, data and information will be added to the website in 2025, including a downloadable National Baseline Canopy Assessment Report detailing the state of tree canopy in urban areas across the country and in-depth reporting on the impact of strategic investments in trees in cities nationwide. TreesAtWork.org was developed through a collaboration between the [Arbor Day Foundation](http://www.arborday.org), [PlanIT Geo](https://planitgeo.com/), and the [USDA Forest Service](https://www.fs.usda.gov/) Urban and Community Forestry program.
