Urban Trees: Bringing the Canopy to All
With extreme heat events hitting Canadian cities this summer, urban forests offer crucial relief. Yet, not all city residents have access to shady, cool streets or the other benefits that trees provide. Join us for a three-part webinar series where you'll learn about tree equity, explore how mapping the issue can drive positive change, and discover how to prioritize equity in your tree planting projects. This series aims to inspire action across Canada, empowering you to be part of the solution.
Webinar 2: Mapping the Urban Forest: Tools for Bringing the Canopy to All
Speaker #1: Saadiq Mohiuddin, Calgary Climate Hub
Speaker #2: Connie Pinto, City of Toronto
Tree equity is relatively new in Canada, however, community groups and municipalities are already on the path of working towards an equitable urban forest by mapping the issue in their cities. Tree equity maps are powerful tools used to visualize and analyze the distribution of tree canopy cover in relation to race and socioeconomic factors across different neighbourhoods, often revealing disparities in access to the urban forest. Join us to learn from the Calgary Climate Hub and City of Toronto about how innovative mapping tools are being used to identify disparities in tree canopy cover and drive positive change.
