A FOREST WORTH SAVING

Kansas City's Line Creek Forest is roughly 800 acres of old, pristine and contiguous forest (about the size of Central Park) surrounded by urban development, and accessible by 2 miles of the Line Creek Trail. 

​

There are many reasons to save the forest. Learn more below:

GREEN SPACE = MONEY. FOR EVERYBODY. 
​
HERE'S WHY:

It's simple. Forests + green space = money for KC's Northland. Not only do urban forests, parks and green spaces contribute to higher property values, but green space also helps take care of a community: improving air quality, flood management and more.

 

Small swaths of trees aren't enough; we need to protect the large, contiguous green spaces that help our community. 

​

What else? Green space contributes to the wellbeing of a community, improves quality of life and makes it a more desirable place to be: not just for businesses, but homeowners, renters and everybody.
