Home in Tacoma Phase 2: Trees are Critical Infrastructure!

We need the Tacoma City Council to pass the Landscaping code with the Planning Commission's recommended tree related amendments for Home in Tacoma Phase 2.

Trees are essential infrastructure, crucial for clean air, cool neighborhoods, and robust

stormwater management. Urban tree canopies slow runoff by intercepting rainfall and

allowing water to infiltrate the soil. A single mature tree with a 25-foot canopy can

manage stormwater from up to 2,400 square feet of impervious surfaces like roads and

sidewalks, helping to prevent flooding and decreasing the burden on stormwater

systems. Trees also improve groundwater recharge and filter pollutants when absorbing

water through their root systems.

Protecting our tree canopy isn’t about landscaping—it’s about equity, health, and climate resilience.
