• The Bronx, 26.7%
• Citywide, 23.4%
• Manhattan, 22.7%
• Queens, 19.5%

"An equitably distributed and ecologically diverse urban forest in New York City will cool neighborhoods, help manage stormwater, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase habitat for wildlife, and enhance the health of, and quality of life for, all New Yorkers," Mamdani said.

His goal is to raise the city's overall tree cover from the current 22 percent to 30-percent by the end of the decade.
