Urban Tree Loss
A tree removal crew works in a residential lot in the Old Irving Park neighborhood on April 3, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois. The work highlights growing concerns about ongoing deforestation and the clearing of mature trees in urban areas--practices that environmental advocates warn can degrade air and water quality, intensify the urban heat island effect, and reduce local biodiversity. The collection includes images of chainsaws, safety equipment, wood chipping, cut logs, bucket trucks, and heavy machinery used throughout the tree removal process. (Photo by Patrick Gorski)
