The purpose of this project will be three-fold: 1.To re-inventory Tampa’s urban forest in order to complete a 5-year update to the Tampa Urban Ecological Analysis (UEA); 2. To utilize both new and previously collected field and remote sampling information to conduct a detailed analysis of structural and spatial change to Tampa’s urban forest since 2006; and 3. To develop a science-based, publicly-supported, fiscally responsible Urban Forest management Plan based on the vision and goals developed by the mayor’s Steering Committee on Urban Forest Sustainability. The project will be lead by members of the unique research team representing the City, USF, laboratory of the University of Vermont.
