Courtesy BCN Chair Debra Wathen, some disturbing but important information regarding tree canopy loss from deLille Anthony with the Tree Next Door. Please look it over and share it with your neighborhood board and concerned neighbors. Atlanta has such a significant portion of the tree canopy that it is of utmost importance that we protect our trees. After all, they do produce oxygen! The 3rd chart compares the three quarters after the most recent changes in the Tree Ordinance were implemented in April 2023 with the same three quarters in 2022. Clearly, the changes made in Phase 1 of the Tree Ordinance didn’t help slow the rate of tree loss. The Tree Next Door recently published their analysis of the City’s tree loss data through the end of 2023. The data from 2014 to 2023 shows that the loss of healthy trees, both legally permitted and illegally removed, has more than doubled since 2020. Before 2020, we were still losing thousands of trees each year, but the loss rate wasn’t growing as fast. Comments are closed.
