Urban Forest Hurricane Recovery Program

The Urban Forest Hurricane Recovery Program provides critical guidance on selecting wind-resistant tree species suited for tropical and subtropical environments. This resource categorizes tree species based on their wind resistance levels: highest, medium-high, medium-low, and lowest. Included are detailed lists and a photo gallery featuring various dicots, conifers, and palms, highlighting species such as red maple, royal poinciana, and longleaf pine. Learn about the best trees to plant in hurricane-prone areas to promote resilience and recovery.
