Over the past decade, Chicago has backtracked on goals made years ago to provide residents with trees, particularly on the South and West sides where researchers say trees are needed the most.

Honored to have worked on the visuals for this investigation by @MorGreene & @joemahr:

We @teamtrace, a small non-profit outlet focused on investigative work, are trying to address it. #Jobopen (1/3)
