In Akron, our tree coverage has declined from
40%
34%
to decrease to 30% by 2040. Currently,
Akron loses 6,540 trees annually.
At Keep Akron Beautiful, we are excited to launch the Planting Change: 100k Trees for Akron campaign, with the goal to plant 100,000 trees by 2034 to restore the city’s green canopy and maintain a balanced ecosystem.
Trees clean the air and help you breathe
Trees can increase the economic revenue for retail shops, prevent unnecessary costs of road maintenance, and increase property values
Studies indicate that areas with abundant green spaces experience lower rates of property crime, as well as reductions in both violent and minor offenses
Trees prevent soil erosion and water runoff
