Learn about Benefits of Tampa's Urban Forest
What's
the value of the trees in Tampa? Tampa boasts over 7.8 million trees. Trees
-- and, collectively, the urban forest -- are important assets that require
care and maintenance the same as other public property. Trees are on the job
24 hours every day working for all of us to improve our environment and
quality of life. View Tampa's tree
study.
