LEAF’s Full-Service Backyard Tree Planting Program (BYTP program) has been helping to grow the urban forest for nearly 30 years. We analyzed how many of those trees are retained to understand the impacts of this long running program and consider how LEAF can continue supporting residents so that newly planted trees thrive.
