St. John's, NL Carbon Sequestration Naturalization Climate

St. John's will plant 2,000 new trees at 13 parks and public spaces during the project. Eleven hectares of urban forest will capture an estimated 89 tons of carbon emissions during the next two decades. Newly planted trees eliminate 76 tons of emissions previously created by landscaping and lawn maintenance. City officials primarily focus on the project's climate impacts but residents also benefit from its beautification and water filtration improvements.
