A sunny day where the leaves sprinkle light on the ground, a light rain mists in but you’re protected by the mature trees in your neighborhood, ever you ever wondered how tree coverage in your neighborhood compares to other areas?

According to the City of Bellingham the average tree canopy coverage in Bellingham is 40%. Head to City of Bellingham’s Urban Tree Forestry Management interactive webpage to zoom in on your neighborhood and see how much tree coverage you have!

There is an upcoming City Council meeting to continue the conversation on tree canopy coverage (going from 40% coverage to 45% covered) through The City of Bellingham Planning Department sometime around April 15th, 2024.
