46Mitigate the Urban Heat Island through increasing canopy cover

Revise the landscape code so that it improves on the canopy, native landscaping, pervious, and green space requirements to meet the goal of 40% green infrastructure. Conduct a tree inventory and canopy analysis to identify the areas of the City most in need of canopy enhancements and focus tree planting programs to these areas. Empower residents to take part by offering workshops and tree and native plant give away programs.
