The Land sector in Evansville encompasses greenspace management, urban forestry, land use planning, and the role that natural systems play in both producing and sequestering greenhouse gas emissions. While this sector is not one of the largest direct sources of emissions, it is critically important because healthy greenspaces, urban tree canopy, and well-managed natural areas actively absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and provide essential co-benefits like stormwater management, air quality improvement, and urban heat mitigation.

Evansville is home to significant natural assets, including Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve, the largest old-growth lowland forest within city limits in the US, and Howell Wetlands, the largest urban wetlands in Indiana. The City's 2025 Climate Action Plan identifies Land as one of five key focus areas, recognizing that investing in natural infrastructure is essential to achieving climate goals. The Evansville Forest Alliance is leading efforts to expand the urban tree canopy, particularly in underserved communities that are disproportionately affected by extreme heat and poor air quality.
