GIS tree cover analysis

While I was at grad school in Louisville, KY, I analyzed tree canopy cover for 26 council districts, each with approximately the same population. The results were then cross-analyzed against socio-economic data, to determine if there was preferential distribution or maintenance of trees.

I have also been trained in the valuation of ecosystem services provided by trees, according to the U.S. Forest Service protocol UFORE.
