This lesson is about the distribution and density of trees in urban areas and how that relates to environmental justice.
Step 1 - Inquire: Students explore a spreadsheet, map, and two graphs showing urban forest cover and its connection to wealth and race.

Step 3 - Inspire: Students complete a written reflection noticing the distribution of trees near their homes.
