2 | 2019 - 2020 Annual Report

In March, TreesLouisville celebrated a milestone event - our 5th year anniversary. Since 2015, as you will see in this report, we have built invaluable partnerships and collabo-rations city-wide that are creating transformative projects.

We are a small but efficient team. Charlotte Jones has been an invaluable asset with her many talents and knack for organization. Rob Monsma contributes a technological component to our work that truly elevates our capacity to collect and analyze data and distribute information. Mike Hayman, Louisville’s own ‘Pied Piper of Trees’, brings unique skills and an incredible passion for trees that continually inspires us to work hard to develop diversity- and design-driven solutions to improve our community canopy. I feel so lucky to work with such energetic and committed people.

We firmly believe a robust canopy is one of the keys to mitigating environmental injustice and social inequities, and these values guide our work on a daily basis.

With your help, we will continue to raise awareness of the value of our urban forest and improve Louisville’s tree canopy, especially in neighborhoods that have suffered from the consequences of historical discriminatory practices. We will advocate for stronger policies to protect and enhance tree canopy. Through the five pillars of our mission, we will strive to create a healthier Louisville - environmentally, economically, and socially. And, as we have from the beginning, we will adhere to our mantra that it’s not just about the trees, it’s about the people.

PLANTING FOR OUR FUTURE

Cindi Sullivan, Executive Director

We are grateful to our many corporate and foundation partners, individual collaborators and donors, and to our dedicated Board of Directors who make our tree planting projects possible. Cindi Sullivan and her team are central in fulfilling our mission to contribute to the well-being and health of our community by preserving and enhancing our tree canopy, with a special focus on historically underserved neighborhoods that have documented heat island effects. Our team is the means by which TreesLouisville works at the intersection of wise horticulture and social equity.

We are particularly grateful to Mayor Greg Fischer and his executive team for their encouragement and support. In addition, the strong collaboration of Metro Council members on our tree planting projects and tree giveaways in their districts has made these efforts highly successful.

We have ambitious plans for the upcoming planting season, and we hope you will take time to study this annual report and learn more about the deep involvement of TreesLouisville throughout Jefferson County.

Thanks for your continued support, and we welcome your input on ways that TreesLouisville can enhance the neigh-borhoods where you live and work.

Henry V. Heuser, Jr., Executive Board Chair

This annual report is dedicated to District 9 Metro Council member and TreesLouisville Board member Bill Hollander. Bill’s dedication to protecting Jefferson County’s fragile tree canopy was a driving force in the passage of a new Street Tree Ordinance in 2017 and more recently, important revisions to the Land Development Code.

Special thanks to Board Member Charlie Marsh for his generous sponsorship of this annual report

The coming 2020-2021 planting season holds many opportunities to increase our impact in the community through partnerships and collaboration. We will continue our robust planting program on JCPS campuses as well as with numerous businesses in Rubbertown and River-port. Our partnership with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will continue to increase canopy along our highway rights-of-way, making our drives more scenic and providing import-ant benefits to our ecosystems. Our planting capacity has been enhanced by our dedicated Canopy Corps volunteers who continue to advance their understanding of planting, pruning, and expanding our tree canopy. Residents will appreciate the opportunity to receive a free tree through a fourth round of our highly successful Community Canopy program this fall. Finally, we will gain important insights and understanding of tree canopy in Louisville through an updated Urban Tree Canopy Assessment performed by the University of Vermont Spatial Analytics Lab. Needless to say, we have plenty to keep us busy through the next year and look forward to another highly successful planting season!

TreesLouisville | 5

Due to the onset of COVID-19 and a city-wide quar-antine in March, nearly every tree giveaway event TreesLouisville had scheduled in March and April sadly had to be cancelled. Still, we thought: what better way to spend some time outdoors and with family than tree planting? We were determined to get trees out to our community. But how?

Out of what we attribute to “TreesLouisville synchro-nicity,” we received a last-minute (and incredibly generous) donation of nearly 700 potted Tulip Poplars, Pond Cypress and Oaks from Highlandbrook Nursery in Elkton, Kentucky. We considered this a sign!

On June 6th, with support from District 21 Council-woman Nicole George, we hosted a tree pickup event at the Beechmont Community Center. Of course, hosting a tree giveaway during a pandemic looked a bit different than usual, but we consider it a very successful event. Participants pre-registered for trees using an online form, and in order to adhere to proper physical distancing guidelines, TreesLouis-ville organized a “drive-through” contact-free pickup

system. Armed with masks, gloves and plenty of hand sanitizer, TreesLouisville staff and volunteers loaded trees into participants’ cars. The event was incredibly positive, and recipients expressed their excitement about taking new trees home to plant.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

We love to plant trees in tree deserts because the change is so dramatic. Portland is one of most canopy-challenged neighborhoods in Louisville with restricted planting sites: small yards, overhead wires, and acres of hard surface. So when former Couri-er-Journal columnist Bob Hill asked TreesLouisville to consider planting at the Falls Art Foundry at 1715 Portland Avenue, we realized we had hit the jackpot. There are few places in Portland to grow a single canopy tree, but the Foundry offered us space for more than fifteen. Even so, space alone does not guarantee tree success. Half of a tree exists underground, making soil quality critical. At the Foundry, all of the planting space had once been a gravel parking lot. The question then became: how can we grow trees in a parking lot with compacted soil and high pH? First: use trees that thrive in limestone-based soil, such as our native Chinkapin Oaks and Yellowwoods. An eye-catching white barked ‘Suttnerii’ Planetree will also be planted at the front of the property, along with a young graft of the iconic 300-year old Bloomington (IL) Bur Oak. Second: “sculpt” the flat site. Nutrient-rich soil donated by Earth First of Kentuckiana was brought in to create berms that support trees that would not have done well in the otherwise alkaline environment. As with any tree planting, success is not determined on the first day of planting, but will be revealed over the following 10, 50 and 100 years. Matt Weir, one of the partners in the Falls Art Foundry, is the project’s on-site “tree champion” and is already investing sweat equity by removing invasive species and taking on the task of watering through the growing season. With a bit of creativity, site knowledge and support from our project partners, we are thrilled to be able to develop unique projects like this one across Jefferson County!

COLLABORATION & ENGAGEMENT

Bob Ray Co.“Bob Ray Co., Inc. is delighted about what TreesLouisville has ac-complished in the fight to rebuild and preserve our city’s tree canopy. As arborists, we appre-ciate the importance of having TreesLou-isville in this battle and recognize their work will intensify the success of saving and rebuilding our tree canopy. Louisville’s en-vironment will benefit greatly for all future generations because of TreesLouisville.”

Tree Champion


In our previous fiscal year, The Miche-lin Foundation, a parent organization of Louisville’s American Synthetic Rubber Co., awarded us a grant that allowed us to take a deep dive into site analysis in the Rubber-town Corridor. That study provided specific recommendations for implementing green infrastructure projects that celebrate and enhance a positive identity of the Rubber-town area with the overarching goal of tree canopy and ecosystem services improve-ment for the benefit of those living within and around the Corridor.

One of the recommendations of the grant work was to create public outreach opportuni-ties to plant 10,000 trees in three years. The trees will be planted “reforestation-style” in large open spaces, along roadways, on private properties, distributed to homeowners in residential areas, at schools, and at faith based communities; in short, anywhere we can maximize tree canopy.

American Synthetic Rubber Company is funding a reforestation project on a 50-acre property located across from their facility, with Waste Management, Inc. supporting the tree maintenance at the site. Other facilities like Zeon Chemical, Lubrizol, and Hexion have funded plantings on their campuses and several companies at Riverport have also planted.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Justin Moreschi, Science Teacher, Medora Elementary:“TreesLouisville has spent countless hours and re-sources ensuring students in JCPS learn in green and natural environments. The staff has provided ongoing support and education and has fostered positive rela-tionships between school staff and students. Their commitment to providing the youth of our commu-nity with opportunities to interact with rare and beneficial plants and land-scapes has been stellar and will benefit families for many years to come.”

REPLANTING RUBBERTOWN

COLLABORATION

In October 2018, Councilman Bill Hollander introduced a resolution co-sponsored by Madonna Flood, Brandon Coan and David James to have Planning and Design Services review Chapter 10 of the Land Development Code relating to trees and tree canopy. Though revisions had been made in 2010, changes pertaining to tree canopy were paused until results from Louisville’s Urban Tree Canopy Assessment were pub-lished in 2015. The data was shocking -- between 2004 and 2012, Louisville lost the equivalent of 54,000 trees each year. It became evident that the need for tree canopy protection became more critical than ever.

Following two years of public meetings, hearings and ongoing debates, these import-ant changes were made official by vote of Metro Council on April 23, 2020. The new code was simplified, removing excess language and complicated calculation tables. For the first time in Louisville history, new developments will be required to preserve existing tree canopy on site. The amendment also requires new developments to plant street trees, which will help reduce heat produced by newly paved surfaces.

The changes made and awareness raised through this process will have a marked impact for future generations. Many stakeholders are ready to continue strengthening the LDC to preserve our most invaluable common asset - our community tree canopy. Our com-munity is now poised to serve as a model of innovation, creativity, and sustainability with an eye towards our childrens’ future.

Thanks to sponsorship from the Louisville Metro Division of Community Forestry, TreesLouisville launched its Shade Tree Rebate Program, which offered Jefferson County residents the opportunity to receive a discount of up to $80 on the purchase of eligible canopy trees. Over the course of this program, which concluded in May 2020, 612 trees have been planted by 410 participants! With nearly 70% of available planting space in Louisville being privately owned, individual residents truly hold the key to improving and expanding our city’s tree canopy.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

COMMUNITY CANOPY PROGRAM

SUSTAINABILITY

Between January 2019 and May 2020, TreesLouisville gave away 2,975 free trees to Jefferson County residents through the Arbor Day Foundation’s Community Canopy program. Made possible by a grant from the US Forest Service and the Kentucky Division of Forestry, Community Canopy utilizes an online program that helps users identify the ideal location on their property to maximize energy savings, carbon se-questration, and other environmental benefits. Participants reserved trees online that were then delivered (for free!) to their doorstep or picked up at a special event. In keeping with our mission of planting trees in areas of greatest need, we en-sured that the majority of trees were allotted to households in low canopy areas of Jefferson County.

Over the next 20 years, these trees willProvide $63,032 in energy savings by reducing 363,626 kWh of energy usage

Mitigate 5,398,563 gallons of stormwater runoff

Sequester 1,558,894 lbs of carbon dioxide and intercept 5,400 lbs of air pollutants

TreesLouisville’s Canopy Corps was established in January 2020 to provide an opportunity for Louisville residents interested in volunteering their time to help restore our tree canopy. Beginning by working in small groups with staff, volunteers built their knowledge and understanding of trees, tree planting, root systems, and other topics through hands-on, experiential learning. The planting season wound down in April, and the Canopy Corps transitioned to pruning trees at previously planted sites as part of our commitment to ensur-ing the lifelong success of these young trees. Volunteer events were paused through March, April, and May as we came to understand the impact of COVID-19 but even so, our Canopy Corps accomplished planting 250 and pruning over 500 trees during the 2019-2020 season!

PARTNERSHIPS

Over the past five years, TreesLouisville and Jefferson County Public Schools have

teamed up to plant thousands of trees on over 60 campuses with the eventual goal of reforesting all 170 JCPS properties. We believe that education is the key to expanding the public’s interest and investment in the community forest, and what better place to plant these “seeds” of interest than at our public schools!

Trees have a direct effect on students’ mental and physical health by creating learning environments with connections to the natural world and by providing air quality improvement, stormwater management, and

heat and noise level reductions. Exposure to nature improves students’ academic performance, focus and behavior. It’s important to point out that schools do not solely exist for learning, but also serve as sites for community meetings, sports activities, and are utilized by local residents for exercise and recreation.

To ensure proper maintenance of new trees, TreesLouisville has offered hands-on training for grounds maintenance staff, along with study guides and information about International Society of Arboriculture Arborist Certifications. We’ve also provided Pesti-cide Certification Training and arranged for special testing dates for the staff through the Kentucky Department of Agriculture.

Every eighth-grade science classroom now has access to a “Trees: Nature’s Machines” science unit, developed and provided by TreesLouisville, which includes arborist diameter tapes, tree identification guides, and a manual to calculate tree ecosystem services. In 2020, we began offering a two-week long initiative focused on preserving, cultivating, advocating and educating students in all elements concerning forestry in urban environments with presentations at schools including Seneca High School and Moore Traditional School.

We are so grateful to our many partners, as they are integral to the implementation and long-term success of TreesLouisville’s projects. Our special thanks go to our planting contractors, local tree nurseries, students and faculty at the University of Kentucky’s Department of Landscape Architecture, and all of the businesses, organizations and individuals who have offered their support, built connections and offered guidance along the way.

Education Is The Key

TreesLouisville and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet have initiated a creative and innovative partnership to plant and maintain roadside vegetation in an effort to improve the safety and overall aesthetics of roadside rights-of-way. Our partnership has facilitated the enhancement of pollinator habitats through the installation of native trees and implemen-tation of no-mow zones and is simultaneously helping to control invasive, noxious plants.

Our goal is to have safe, beautiful, stable, and self-sustaining landscapes with minimal maintenance requirements, designed with seasonal interest, plant diversity, and longevity in mind. This year, we joined together to design and install a number of projects, including

sites along the Shawnee Expressway, multiple downtown sites, and -- one we are most excited about -- within the grassy medi-an on South Hurstbourne Parkway, a location which tree planting has long been deferred.

PARTNERSHIPS

TreesLouisville has been a tree planting partner with Jefferson Community and Technical College at their main campus in downtown Louisville on several occasions, including this spring for JCTC’s new Advanced Manufacturing & IT building at South 1st Street and West College Street. In order for these trees to succeed in the urban environment, we opted to adapt an existing landscape plan to better match the site conditions by substituting half of the trees with species more likely to survive and fit the space. Trees like the fruitless, thornless Osage Orange can withstand poor soil conditions and heat from the concrete and asphalt environment along South 1st Street.

Ironically, two uncharacteristically late spring freezes in April and May that killed newly emerged leaves ultimately worked to our advantage. Those freezes extended the digging season for trees strong enough to recover and send out a second flush, which gave us the opportunity to acquire the durable ‘Wichita’ variety of Osage Orange trees much later than normal. Now, with tree canopy swapped for cement, JCTC’s new facility offers shade and green space for students and instructors along the building and in the parking lot!

DEVELOPING GREEN SPACE IN DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE

CHEERS TO ANOTHER PLANTING SEASON!

We extend our thanks to the LG&E Foundation for their contin-ued support of TreesLouisville’s projects! A Plant For the Planet grant and funding from the Com-munity Grants program allowed us to install dozens of new trees at Farnsley Middle School in the Rubbertown Corridor. We are grateful to have had a team of LG&E employees and their fami-lies help to plant and mulch over 100 trees at Farnsley at a volun-teer event at the end of 2019.

In October 2019, TreesLouisville partnered with Against the Grain Brewery and Louisville Grows for the first inaugural Twigs and Swigs event to celebrate the start of the fall tree planting season. The all-day celebration and fundraiser included a pop-up market with local artisans, several local craft breweries, a silent auction,

a 500+ tree giveaway, citizen forester training by Louisville Grows, and live music from local musicians DOMDI and Ben Sollee. Funds from the event have been utilized to install a tree planting project in the WHAS-11 parking lot located at the intersection of West Chestnut Street and Armory Place.

The alarming loss of tree canopy revealed between the years of 2004 to 2012 by Louisville’s 2015 Urban Tree Canopy assessment has been the impetus and one of the guiding forces of TreesLouisville’s work for the past five years. As of this year, the data that informed the assessment is eight years old, and the need for an updated Urban Tree Canopy Assessment analyzing tree canopy gains and losses throughout Jefferson County from 2012 to the present has become critical.

Enter the University of Vermont Spatial Analysis Lab (SAL). The SAL, a cut-ting-edge Geographic Information Systems research facility, has worked with cities across the country (Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, and most recently, Charlotte, NC) to develop urban tree canopy studies. We are lucky to have been approached by researchers at the SAL to undertake a new assessment of Louis-ville’s canopy cover, and we excitedly await the results of the new tree canopy study by fall 2020. Updating this data will ensure TreesLouisville, other organiza-tions, Metro government and Louisville residents have an understanding of the issue we are facing as a community and provide metrics by which we can plan strategic approaches to improve tree canopy.
