- N/A
This guidebook is based on the Urban Tree Canopy Goal Setting Workshop, held in Annapolis, MD on March 7 – 8, 2006. The workshop was designed to give practical instruction on tools and methods for enhancing urban tree canopy cover. The topics covered in this guide include administrative considerations, canopy assessment techniques, goal setting criteria and implementation strategies. It also introduces the Forest Opportunity Spectrum (FOS), a new framework for attaining diverse social and ecological goals through urban forestry. This guide, based largely upon the material of the workshop, is meant to be a resource to Chesapeake Bay communities interested in reaping the environmental, social, economic, and aesthetic benefits of an enhanced urban tree canopy.
