Urban Forest Climate Adaptation

Published by District Department of Transportation | District of Columbia | Metadata Last Checked: February 12, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-11T21:28:46.000Z
Here in the District, we are relying on our urban forest to help us adapt to future climates that are projected to bring extreme heat, higher average temperatures, and changes in precipitation. But the trees themselves are vulnerable to those same changes. As stewards of the urban forest, the Urban Forestry Division has been working to better understand what is at risk, who is at risk, and how to adjust our management practices to maintain an urban forest that is healthy, safe, and growing, even within a changing climate.
