From Creation Justice Ministries

The Canopy of Creation

“In cities across the United States, tree coverage follows the same fault lines as historic redlining. Neighborhoods denied investment generations ago are the same ones baking under full sun today—lacking shade, breathing polluted air, and experiencing temperatures up to 13°F hotter than tree-lined streets just miles away.

This is why we’ve created this year’s Annual Resource: The Canopy of Creation: Trees, Faith, and the Work of Justice. Because the church needs theological grounding, practical tools, and prophetic courage to address what we might call tree apartheid: the systemic inequity in access to the life-giving benefits trees provide.”
