State of the Urban Forest Public Presentation (March 26, 2018)
The City conducted its first tree canopy analysis in 2006 and is required by City Ordinance to conduct an analysis and comparison every five years. This presentation discusses highlights from a study of area tree coverage, conducted by the City, the University of South Florida, the University of Florida and the UF-IFA/Hillsborough county Extension Service. Information from the report will allow the City to develop management strategies to maintain a sustainable tree canopy for the future.

Tampa Tree Canopy and Land Cover Interactive Map
Website
Tree canopy cover is an important measure of the amount of area and locations which are directly and indirectly influenced by trees, which provide many benefits, or ecosystem services, to communities. The distribution of tree canopy is a useful indicator of where these benefits occur within the city. Tree canopy measurements are commonly used to assist with the development and monitoring of urban tree management policies.

This report summarizes ecological, hydrological, econometric and GIS analyses of freshwater wetland habitats in the Tampa Bay Estuary Program's study area. It maps historical changes from 1950-2007, identifies changes in quality and function of wetland habitats, describes tools developed to assess wetland quality, and describes the results obtained by using the assessment tools. Econometric modeling was employed to assess economic viability of future restoration/mitigation/preservation targets.
