Urban & Community Forestry ->American Forests | More on "Urban trees and environmental equity" at BigEarthData.ai
americanforests.org
Urban & Community Forestry
Trees in cities provide health, employment and climate resiliency benefits that everyone should have. They help fulfill our basic needs, such as breathing fresh air and drinking clean water. Trees also cool neighborhoods, which reduces heat-related illnesses and utility costs, and generate wealth by creating tree-related career opportunities. Much like buildings, streets and sewer lines, trees are critical infrastructure that improve our quality of life. This is why Tree Equity is one of American Forests’ primary focuses. But a map of tree cover in America’s cities is too often a map of income and race. That’s because, due to decades of redlining and other discriminatory policies, trees are often sparse in neighborhoods with more low-income families and people of color. Studies show that the neighborhoods that were redlined have fewer trees, preventing the people living there from reaping the benefits trees provide. American Forests has been leading the Tree Equity movement through our local and policy efforts. We worked to help secure billions of dollars for this work in the Inflation Reduction Act. Since 2023, American Forests has signed major new agreements to help implement those funds in partnership with agencies across the federal government. This includes our $50 million...

NASA’s Webb Telescope discovered brown dwarfs in star cluster IC 348 that are just TWICE the mass of Jupiter! 🌌 Weighing only 0.19% of our Sun's mass, these are the least massive brown dwarfs ever found—challenging current models of how stars form.
A star-forming region. The left two thirds of the image is blanketed in thick clouds of green and yellow gas and dust that form swirling patterns. Some of the gas is spread into thin, thready wisps. The right third of the image is the black background speckled with stars and multi-colored dots that represent distant galaxies. Bright stars are scattered throughout the clouds, with the densest cluster situated in the center of the scene. Each is crowned with six long spikes and two shorter spikes created by the optics of the telescope’s mirrors.
