Sustainable Urban Forestry Planning Models and Decision Making Dashboard
2017 | Richard Hauer, PhD, University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point
Currently no easy to use model(s) and interactive dashboard exists for urban foresters to monitor urban forest programs effectively and efficiently and to implement findings into decision making. This project will create an easy to use approach to evaluate and track progress within urban forestry programs. Ultimately this will help communities identify programmatic areas to improve and lead to a sustainable urban forest program and tree population. An important foundation for this project comes from our knowledge of the approaches that 667 municipal urban forestry programs use to manage their urban forests (see http://www.uwsp.edu/cnr/Pages/
