• USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Center for Urban Forest Research
  The Center for Urban Forest Research is producing science-based information on the extent of the current tree canopy cover and planting opportunities for planning purposes as part of the canopy cover assessment for Los Angeles. They are calculating the future urban forest's role in improving air quality, reducing energy costs, intercepting rainfall, reducing runoff, and providing important social and economic benefits. The satellite imagery acquired for this study will be used later to identify greening opportunities on a parcel-by-parcel scale, as well as to track future canopy cover and impervious surface change.
