The reliable use of trees for stormwater control depends on improved understanding of how and to what extent trees interact with stormwater, and the context-specific consideration of optimal arboricultural practices and institutional frameworks to maximize the stormwater benefits trees can provide.

What is the effectiveness of urban tree planting on reducing runoff, nutrient and sediment, and 2. How does effectiveness vary by species, over time, with differences in planting sites (e.g., distance from impervious cover or other trees, soil conditions, geographic location) and with different maintenance strategies.

The nonprofit Green Infrastructure Center Inc. (GIC) developed the project with urban and community forestry program coordinators for forestry agencies in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama. The GIC studied the role of the urban forest in mitigating the impacts of stormwater runoff across 12 communities from large to small cities in locations varying from mountains to the hills of the Piedmont to the coastal plain. This summary report includes the project’s findings, the process to create a model of the role of trees in stormwater uptake and links to the best practices audit tool to help cities reducing imperviousness and better manage their urban forest.
