Neighborhood Tree Act of 2022

The Neighborhood Tree Act of 2022 would establish a federal fund to help local governments, nonprofits, and volunteer groups plant and maintain trees in their communities. The program prioritizes funding for lower-income neighborhoods and areas with limited tree cover to help improve air quality, provide shade, and lower energy costs. It also ensures that residents from these communities have a seat on the national council that advises the government on forestry policy.
