Urban Forestry

Chicago's estimated four million trees provide benefits such as clean air, privacy, and shade and windbreaks that help reduce energy costs. Openlands works hard to keep these arboreal allies vibrant and abundant in our urban environment.

Residing at the heart of our urban forestry projects are TreeKeepers, volunteers who are trained to care for the urban forest, and the Betty Swan Community Arboretum, a living laboratory in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood, where residents, students, and TreeKeepers learn about and practice caring for city trees.
