Intro to American Forests Tree Equity Scoring Tool

APRIL 22, 2024
VIRTUAL
6:00PM-7:00PM

Celebrate Earth Day with us and American Forests! We will be hosting a webinar to introduce you to the the tree equity scoring tool. Tree Equity Score measures how well the critical benefits of urban tree canopy are reaching those who need them most. The score establishes an equity-first standard to guide investment in communities living on low incomes, communities of color and all those disproportionately affected by extreme heat, pollution and other environmental hazards. Tree Equity Score Analyzer is a more comprehensive tool that supports human-centered, deep-dive decision-making for urban tree plantings.

Attendees will gain a basic understanding of the functionality and potential use cases for Tree Equity Score National Explorer and the Dallas Tree Equity Score Analyzer (TESA), gain familiarity with the data they can access through TESA, and understand how they can use TESA for their own projects and needs.
