Abstract
The Value of Trees in City of New BerlinTrack: Ecology, Archaeology, and Conservation
Author(s): David B Haines
The City of New Berlin, Wisconsin, conducted Urban Ecological Analysis (UEA) to map and analyze the benefits of trees and green spaces. The presentation will show (1) the methodologies used to conduct the analysis; (2) the benefits of the City's trees in terms of air pollution removal, energy conservation, and stormwater retention; (3) how current development regulations affect trees; and (4) how the analysis helps to alter the regulations to enhance the development of the City. The City used ArcView, Image Analysis, ArcView Spatial Analyst, and American Forest's CITYgreen software to perform the analysis.
