Seattle City's Disappearing Tree Canopy: An Area the Size of Green Lake Lost, Highlighting Racial and Economic Injustices

The assessment suggests that the city's least forested areas are losing canopy most rapidly, and that losses are not happening equitably, with neighborhoods most impacted by racial and economic injustice losing the most canopy.
