Urban Forestry
Collaboration Creates Community
We partner with The Lafitte Greenway, New Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways, New Orleans City Park, S.O.U.L. and Mastodonte on invasive species removal, brush and path clearing, and tree planting and maintenance.
tree equity
LAGC has been part of local and national tree equity initiatives with American Forests, as well as the City of New Orleans, and Coalitions and Collaboratives to increase our urban tree canopy, mitigate stormwater, and provide a greener, more beautiful urban experience for all in our community. LAGC has planted 201 trees (and counting) along the Lafitte Greenway over the last two years, with a goal to plant 400 trees by 2028!
