Baltimore's increased tree cover provides significant benefits, including reduced urban heat and improved stormwater management. However, disparities in tree distribution due to environmental racism and classism remain a concern. Wealthier neighborhoods often enjoy better tree coverage, while poorer areas may still face challenges. The city's efforts to plant trees aim to address these inequities, but long-term success depends on sustained investment and community engagement. Residents in areas with limited tree cover may continue to experience higher temperatures and increased vulnerability to extreme weather events.
