Everyone – regardless of race, skin color, national origin, or income – has the right to the same environmental protections and benefits. One actional step towards alleviating environmental injustice, is to monitor a city’s tree canopy. Improving a city’s urban tree canopy can have numerous benefits including reducing summer peak temperatures while decreasing energy bills, decreasing air pollution, enhancing quality of life and health. This course will teach you how to use a gamut of GIS tools for collecting information from the public about trees planted, realizing the benefits of expanding a city’s urban tree canopy, and sharing those results with the public. You will gain GIS development skills using ArcGIS Pro, Survey123, Python, i-Tree API, and ArcGIS Hub for sharing information to correct an environmental justice issue in any town.
