This is part of an effort by the city to bring more trees to the heart of the city. Director David Simons says the department is making great progress on a goal they set three years ago. We are making great progress on this campaign We are on schedule, and I think we may even be ahead of schedule to reach our 100,000 tree goal by 2030,” said Simon.

Albuquerque has received a $5 million grant from the federal government to go toward planting more trees in neighborhoods around the city.
