A neighborhood tree-planting program, spelled Relief [?] in the auto-captions, launches December 5 at Mitchell Playground in the Westside neighborhood (19.4 percent tree canopy), led by the Westside Neighborhood Association with city GIS and urban forestry support. The city hopes to replicate it elsewhere.
