Forest Cover Canopy for Capital Region
The Tree Canopy Assessment for Canada’s Capital Region is a collaborative project by the National Capital Commission, the City of Gatineau, and the City of Ottawa. The Capital Region’s forest canopy has been mapped to establish a baseline for future comparisons and provide necessary information for follow-up work, including the development of new urban canopy targets, an inventory of “plantable” urban space, and development of a tree planting prioritization tool. It was completed by the University of Vermont Spatial Analysis Laboratory.
