Urban Forestry Footprint Mapping 2025 (V 2.0)

About the Project -2025
Building on the foundation of the original mapping, in 2025, a new dataset was collected, and the Urban Forestry Footprint Map (2.0) was updated by Dr. Danijela Puric-Mladenovic in collaboration with Dr. Adrina C. Bardekjian and with support from Tree Canada. This update, besides measuring the chnage and progress in urban Forestry across municipalities, expanded data on emerging urban forestry topics, such as equity. We extend our sincere gratitude to Emma Harper and Victoria Ladouceur for their invaluable contributions to data collection in 2025.
  
We thank Tree Canada for support and enabling this project.

Collected information on urban forestry and related stewardship, policy and management activities is spatially integrated into interactive maps. Read Canada's Urban Forestry Footprint Summary (2.0)
