关键观点总结
关键观点1: 低收入城市地区急需增加树木覆盖
这些地区的树冠覆盖率大约是富裕地区的一半，因此面临空气污染、水质恶化和极端高温等多种风险。

As ambitious tree-planting projects take place across the country, cities and nonprofits are exploring how to better integrate the needs of underserved communities in their work. Having a choice about which trees to plant near her house was important to LaDonna Faye Barnett in Louisville, Kentucky. Previous trees planted by the
city
caused decades of problems. TreesLouisville, a nonprofit started by local
civic
leaders, allowed her to chose black gum trees, which are smaller.
随着全国范围内开展雄心勃勃的植树项目，各大城市和非营利组织正积极探讨如何更好地把未能充分提供服务的社区需求整合到他们的工作中。对于住在肯塔基州路易斯维尔的拉多娜·法伊·巴内特来说，能够选择在她家附近种什么树是很重要的。之前由市政府种植的树木已经导致了数十年的问题。“树路易斯维尔”是一个由当地市政领导人创办的非营利组织，它允许她选择规模较小的黑胶树。

Many low-income urban areas in the United States have a pressing need for trees. With about half as much tree
canopy
coverage as their affluent counterparts have, these areas face a host of risks, such as air pollution, poor water quality, and dangerously high heat.

But government tree-planting programs meant to close this gap can face resistance from the very communities they intend to help. The resistance, research shows, is tied not only to residents’ lack of means to maintain trees but also to distrust.
政府的植树计划旨在缩小这一差距，但该计划可能会遭到来自他们本想要帮助的社区的抵制。研究表明，这种抵制不仅与居民缺乏维护树木的方式有关，还与他们的不信任有关。
“In a lot of lower-income communities, there’s been a lack of investment in tree care by the city,” says Christine Carmichael, a forestry
consultant
who wrote a book on the impact of racism on urban trees. “And so there’s a real need now to have some
accountability
and rebuild trust.”
林业顾问克里斯汀·卡迈克尔表示：“在许多低收入社区，市政府在林业养护方面的投资明显不足。”她曾撰写过一本关于种族主义对城市树木影响的书籍。“因此，现在迫切需要一些问责制并重建信任。”

Urban tree loss is a widespread phenomenon that has been addressed, with different degrees of success, in cities from New York to Nashville. For multimedia reporter Jingnan Peng, a story about a tree-planting initiative in Louisville, Kentucky, became a story about rebuilding community trust.
He spoke to host Clay Collins for this episode, which includes
encore
material from a 2023 show on Jing’s coverage of another greening-of-cities phenomenon – compact Miyawaki forests – and a discussion about how a multimedia reporter matches storytelling format to story.
