The volunteer group Friends of Upper Arlington
Parks spends one Saturday per month removing
invasive honeysuckle and other vegetation in
natural areas. In spring and fall they also plant
native species to fill voids, especially where ash
trees used to provide much of the canopy.
There is a long history of planting crabapples in the
historic district. However, forestry staff continues to
diversify the street tree population there since that's
where some of the widest tree lawns were built.
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.

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