Interactive Maps (2025)
Building on the original mapping, a new dataset was collected in 2025 and the Urban Forestry Footprint Map (Version 2.0) was updated by Dr. Danijela Puric-Mladenovic in collaboration with Dr. Adrina C. Bardekjian, with support from Tree Canada.
This update measures change and progress in urban forestry across municipalities and expands the dataset to include emerging urban forestry topics such as equity. The project also acknowledges Emma Harper and Victoria Ladouceur for their contributions to data collection in 2025.
What the updated map provides
- Interactive maps with graphs and summaries
- Comparison of urban forestry activities across municipalities
- Updated data on departments, professionals, strategies, inventories, by-laws, policies, and pest/disease management
- Expanded coverage of newer urban forestry topics
You can use the dashboard to explore municipal information, compare communities, and review topic-specific results within the map interface.
