Urban Tree Canopy Change
Accessing urban tree canopy over time at a local scale can uncover patterns that can help guide future tree planting efforts in those communities. I digitized tree canopy from a 1952 aerial photo of the neighborhood of Columbus Park and compared it to a 2018 tree canopy dataset.
