This paper utilizes public records, administrative data, a geodemographic market segmentation database, and high-resolution land cover data to assess where programs work, who participates in these programs, and whom the programs fail to reach.

Free or reduced-cost programs for tree planting on private lands were most effective in the most affluent neighborhoods
