Introduction

This website presents a collection of data-driven environmental and community analyses developed in collaboration with Texas Trees Foundation to support urban forestry, climate resilience, and public health initiatives across North Texas.

Texas Trees Foundation has a long-standing mission to create healthier communities through strategic tree planting, canopy expansion, and evidence-based environmental planning. The analyses presented here examine how trees, shade, and environmental conditions interact with temperature, air quality, and community-level outcomes.

Using longitudinal data, environmental sensors, and spatial analysis, this site provides accessible insights that support research, program evaluation, and data-informed decision-making for practitioners, policymakers, and community partners.

Project Areas
