National Research Highlights
Catalyzing an urban wood and restoration economy in Baltimore
Year: 2017
The Weeks Act of 1911 enabled the newly established U.S. Forest Service to restore land and watersheds. One hundred and six years later, agency work continues in both familiar and new landscapes. In urban areas, where land reclamation and restoration enables holistic change, Forest Service scientists and their partners are helping transform vacant and abandoned lots, neglected neighborhoods, overlooked communities, and polluted watersheds into places where residents want to live, work, and play.
Urban Tree Canopy Assessment Program
Year: 2010
Despite millions of dollars spent each year by federal, state, and local governments on remote sensing datasets, decision makers sometimes still find that they lack basic information about their community's tree canopy because these datasets have not been converted into practical, readily interpretable information. In the Urban Tree Canopy (UTC) Assessments Program, NRS scientist Morgan Grove, with a partner from the University of Vermont's Spatial Analysis Laboratory, has developed advanced processing techniques that to help fill this information gap.
