US launches $1bn tree-planting scheme to mitigate effects of climate crisis

Hundreds of communities around the US will share more than $1bn in federal money to help them plant and maintain trees under a federal program that is intended to reduce extreme heat, benefit health and improve access to nature. The US agriculture secretary, Tom Vilsack, will announce the $1.13bn in funding for 385 projects at an event on Thursday morning in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/14/tree-planting-us-climate-crisis
