Urban Tree Canopy Assessment

Urban Tree Canopy Assessment is a method used to evaluate the extent and health of trees in a city or urban area. It involves measuring the coverage of tree foliage, which can provide numerous benefits such as reducing heat, improving air quality, and enhancing aesthetics. This assessment often employs aerial imagery and ground surveys to analyze tree distribution and identify areas where tree planting or conservation is needed. The results help city planners and communities make informed decisions about urban forestry, promoting greener, healthier environments.
