About
At the time of publication of our Reforestation Plan, the existing canopy coverage was 7.7%.
We are thrilled to have nearly reforested all of Pontchartrain Park. Tree planting has occurred on blocks that are not slated for sidewalk and right-of-way reconstruction. The deadlines for these blocks continue to be pushed back. We will stay in touch with the community and have vowed to return and finish planting every block in the community as soon as the roadwork has been completed.
