The location for the Green Heart Project was evaluated based on existing tree canopy, major roadways, population density, plantable space, and neighborhood characteristics. From that assessment, a three-square mile area of South Louisville encompassing six neighborhoods: Oakdale / Wyandotte, Wilder Park, Taylor-Berry, Beechmont and Hazelwood.
