I fly in all over the United States as part of my job. I love the window seat and like to look out the window at the area near the Airport as we come into land. One thing I notice is how forested the area is near the Airport. Some Cities seem to have very few trees. Other cities are more progressive and planted millions of trees or left many when they developed.
What metro area of the United States has the most trees?
Sacramento calls itself the tree city....not sure if its true but it does have a lot of trees of all different types.
"Tree City USA" is a designation given to cities with specific urban forestry components. I don't know if that's what Sacramento is saying or not. Pittsburgh is certainly treesy (sic?). Omaha, Neb has a surprising number of trees for a Great Plains city.
I asked almost the same question a few weeks ago in the thread "Forested cities in the eastern U.S." From where I've personally travelled to, the Washington DC area, especially the suburban counties in Maryland and Northern Virginia are chock full of leafy trees. But then again, I'm sure even Omaha, NE feels like a forest compared to Phoenix (my current locale).
The cities/metro areas I've seen with the most trees are Charlotte NC (SC), Raleigh/Durham NC, Asheville NC, and Washington DC (VA/MD). Very beautiful areas!
The Syracuse area has many trees....sometimes too many since some people around here actually let their yards "go wild". If there is any city in need of Californication, it's the Syracuse area. And the urban planning isn't too good either. Instead of clearing the overgrown brush/weeds when land is developed, planners/construction companies (whoever) in Syracuse just clear the land where they build and use the scrub land as a "natural barrier" between property lines. Meaning between every commercial, industrial and residential development there is a lot of cattails, weedy vines, small trees, shrubs, grass etc. And it all collects litter. Very ugly IMO. Most other metros I've been to, they clear the whole property and plant a landscaped barrier. Much nicer looking. So if anyone looking for a city with the most overgrown brush or cattails? Without a doubt it has to be the Syracuse Metro.
yeah, i mostly agree with Sacramento (I travel there all the time
but my hometown Reno, Nevada has a ton of trees for being in the desert.
Its kinda weird, but they actually do
