The toolkit offers sample messaging and talking points to highlight how urban trees mitigate extreme heat, improve air quality, and enhance public health. It specifically promotes the #FundingUrbanForestry campaign and the use of Inflation Reduction Act funds to expand urban canopies and create green jobs in underserved communities.

• Urban tree canopies provide a natural solution to extreme heat by reducing temperatures by 11-19°F compared to areas without tree cover.
• Extreme heat and the lack of urban trees disproportionately affect low-income areas and communities of color.
• Urban forestry initiatives contribute to local economies by creating jobs for the training, planting, and maintenance of urban green spaces.
• In the eastern United States, trees are essential for water security as over 75% of the population relies on surface water for drinking, and trees help filter this water and reduce stormwater runoff.
• The U.S. Forest Service utilizes funding from the Inflation Reduction Act to support the Urban and Community Forestry Program to increase the national tree canopy.
