Green Spaces

	Restore City tree canopy with five year 10,000 Trees Initiative to reduce carbon dioxide levels through carbon sequestration and assess expansion of the program.
	Promote Orlando Easterly Wetlands, a green space that also serves as an advanced wastewater treatment system, wildlife habitat and a recreational and educational center.
	Build a roof top/balcony garden at City Hall to raise awareness of green roofs and their benefits.
	Develop a master plan for park expansion and tree placement.
	Partner with local businesses to implement community gardens.

10,000 Tree Initiative- Restoring Orlando’s Historic Tree Canopy The 10,000 Trees Initiative was established to restore the City’s tree canopy that was destroyed during the 2004 hurricanes. The City of Orlando’s Parks Division, Green-Up Orlando and Keep Orlando Beautiful bring together individuals and resources to restore the City’s precious tree canopy. Individuals and organizations can support the planting of a 30-gallon street tree with a $100 tax-deductible contribution and volunteers can help by planting trees. The City’s goal is to replace 10,000 trees by 2010.
