Understand your Canopy
From Chesapeake Tree Canopy Network:
The first step in working toward a tree canopy goal is understanding what you have. Thanks to the investments of Chesapeake Bay Program partners, we are fortunate to now have ready access to “wall-to-wall” high resolution land cover/land use data for the entire watershed, for the 2013/14 and 2017/18 time periods. Updated data based on 2021/2022 imagery are anticipated in 2024.
New county fact sheets are now available for all Chesapeake watershed counties sharing tree cover status, benefits (from i-Tree) and change information over the 2013/14 to 2017/18 time periods. Use the map viewer below to find your county’s fact sheet. Municipal fact sheets will be produced later in 2023.
