Establishing the One Trillion Trees Interagency Council

What it means

This order creates the United States One Trillion Trees Interagency Council to coordinate federal participation in the global initiative to grow and conserve one trillion trees by 2030. The Council will develop strategies for tracking tree growth and identify opportunities to protect and restore forests.

Expected impact

• Enhanced environmental protection through increased forest conservation and tree planting efforts across federal lands
• Economic benefits from healthy forests including recreation, tourism, and job creation
• Improved air and water quality as forests absorb carbon dioxide and filter drinking water
• Greater coordination between federal agencies on forest management and conservation
• Potential for new partnerships between government, non-profit organizations, and private sector entities to advance reforestation goals
