COLUMBIA, S.C. — The City of Columbia has been selected as one of three South Carolina communities to participate in Trees4SC! , a new statewide community forestry initiative aimed at expanding and strengthening urban tree canopy.

The program is led by the Green Infrastructure Center (GIC) and the South Carolina Forestry Commission ’s Urban and Community Forestry Program.

With funding provided by the USDA Forest Service through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Trees4SC! supports local governments in mapping, planning, and growing healthy community forests. The initiative focuses on expanding access to the many benefits trees provide, including cleaner air and water, reduced flooding, shade, and enhanced neighborhood beauty.
