The City’s Urban Forest Master Plan

Irvine is currently ranked No. 1 in California and No. 2 in America in the Public Land Trust’s ParkScore Index, which is recognized as the national gold-standard comparison of park systems across the 100 most populated cities in the United States. 

Years ago, Mayor Larry Agran and other environmental activists got the City of Irvine to set a goal to plant 500,000 trees, which has been reached.

Now, the City is setting a new goal to plant thousands more trees to provide shade, help clean the air, sequester carbon, cool the City, and help reach Irvine’s Climate Action Plan goals.

Residents are encourage to view the Urban Forest Master Plan and then let City officials know where you want new trees planted in Irvine.
