At 38% of the land area, Cuyahoga County’s overall tree canopy is a lower percentage than other available counties. In addition, a majority of the County’s residents live in communities with substantially less tree canopy. The City of Cleveland, at 19% tree canopy, is comparable to New York and Philadelphia.
By aggressively replanting in its existing potential planting areas, Cuyahoga County can meet or surpass many of those areas.
