SavATree can help you look at the distribution
of tree canopy across your city and relate it
to the biophysical and
social environment.
Mapping is a tool
to inform program,
policy, and practice to
identify opportunities
for increasing
environmental equity.
We can assist with
both mapping and
practice support.

relief and environmental justice. It

the following variables: minority
populations, median household
income, impervious surfaces,

Tree Canopy Prioritization
devotes quite a few resources to the planning and
maintenance of its urban forest. It's a pleasure
and an honor to represent this agency and to play
a role in accomplishing this important work.
Is there anything else you would
like to share with your colleagues?
SA: Our UF team just merged with the Storm
Water Infrastructure Maintenance (SWIM) team
to form the Green Infrastructure Maintenance
Section. This team's work involves monitoring and
maintaining vegetation in public rights-of-way and
in engineered stormwater facilities (bioswales,
rain gardens, etc.). We hope that by merging our
teams into one unified section, we can increase our
efficiencies/effectiveness and manage our natu-
ral resource assets in a more holistic manner. This
merger is only two months old, so we're still figur-
ing things out, but it all looks very promising.
