- Incorporating natural and green features Rain gardens Green roofs porus pavement bioswales Educational components boardwalks and sinage around wetlands develop outdoor research labs involve students with restoration activities Avoiding natural features such as wetlands and streams helps save costs and delays due to federal and state permitting processes
- Help to develop site plan: Avoiding natural features such as wetlands and streams helps save costs and delays due to federal and state permitting processes
- Slope: Steep slopes would be included within the buffers when in close proximity to streams. This situation is most common in headwater streams. Stream Order: Stream order can be used to determine the effectiveness of removing sediments and pollutants. Vegetation: Mature forests with undisturbed understory vegetation will be the preferred buffer vegetation type. Buffers can only be reduced if the current vegetation is mature forest. Mowed and disturbed areas should have the maximum buffer width. Soil Type: Moderate and well drained soils are effective at absorbing surface runoff, while fine-textured soils (usually somewhat poorly drained and poorly drained soils) are better at dentrification. Buffers can be increased or decreased based on soil type and the most important buffer function based on surrounding land use. Dentrification will probably be most important in residential areas with chemcally treated lawns. Adjacent Land Use: Both current and anticipated land use should be considered in determining buffer width and desired buffer functions. Sustainability : Narrow buffers cannot maintain a healthy forest ecosystem.
- Not too much on the map for Missouri, as you can see. We don’t have the St. Louis project displayed, but it does represent the 1 st STRATUM analysis that I am aware of in Missouri. Transition into discussion on some recent projects assisting with the implementation of STRATUM for municipal clients.
- Quantifying the need: Street Tree Inventory Completed in August of 2005, the Tree Inventory and Management Plan for Pittsburgh enabled the PSTC and the City Forester to provide meaningful, accurate data for the city’s operational and capital budgeting process. The Inventory also identified and prioritized hazardous street trees, thus enabling the City Forester to proactively assign work plan priorities and reduce the city’s exposure to liability. The action program outlined within the plan calls for an investment of nearly $8 million over seven years to remedy the accumulated backlog of work required to move Forestry Division operations from crisis mode to proactive, sustainable management of Pittsburgh’s street trees. Responding to the Need: Creation of the Friends of the Pittsburgh Urban Forest The Tree Inventory and Management Plan for Pittsburgh provides a clear path to better stewardship of the City’s resources, but one that is beyond the City of Pittsburgh’s current fiscal means. However there is a critical need to act now to implement the recommendations in the plan, especially before additional valuable, mature trees are lost to neglect. Because several potential funders made clear their preference to provide support for this effort through an independent 501(c)(3) organization, the Friends of the Pittsburgh Urban Forest was organized in 2006 to carry out fund-raising, education and stewardship activities that PSTC had coordinated in the past. Moving forward, Friends are working collaboratively with the City of Pittsburgh, community groups, and residents to make a positive impact on our urban forest.
- 3:1 CBRatio Leverage funding through awareness and advocacy Foster community support Focus management activities to maximize benefits and achieve sustainability
- This project is a success because of Gene's efforts to integrate the urban forest into the City's overall strategy to achieve the goals of the Mayors Climate Agreement and improve the quality of life in Chattanooga. Gene is using the STRATUM report and data to better manage public trees to maximize their benefits and help others understand how they contribute to improving the environmental quality of the city. Chattanooga’s stratum analysis contains a lot of valuable benefit information, but the City focused in on its commitment to the Climate Protection Agreement, and thus the contribution of trees to reducing atmospheric carbon. 1,500 trees will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 141,000 pounds in ten years and by 250,000 pounds in twenty years.
- Indiana will be able to take the economic analyses and compare to the structural information. Which communities have more sustainable populations which are in decline, which are on the rise? What is the ideal?
- 15,002 ash in 2000 inventory (20.3%)
- 15,002 ash in 2000 inventory (20.3%)
- Maximize Benefits via: Expanded planting program focusing on underutilized, good performers Set canopy cover increase goals, focus on increasing canopy cover in wards with less trees or smaller trees Maintain mature trees, they are worth it. Plant more than you remove (achieve an uneven distribution in age) Prepare for EAB
