Causes of Tree Canopy Loss in Columbia, SC
Urban Expansion & Suburban Development: As the city's population grows, ongoing commercial and residential developments within and outside city limits continuously replace tree canopy with built structures.
Specific Redevelopment Projects: Targeted urban growth initiatives, such as the Bull Street development project in downtown Columbia, involved significant tree removal.
Residential Tree Removals: Individual property owners cutting down trees in residential yards (often viewing them as nuisances) contributes to broader canopy thinning across neighborhoods
