The Trust for Public Land: Introducing the Greenprinting Model
Track: Ecology and Conservation
Author(s): Breece Robertson

The Trust for Public Land (TPL) has developed a proactive GIS modeling suite to prioritize greenspace and parkland acquisitions. The models incorporate criteria from a variety of data sources including demographics, water quality, land developement, health and economic benefits data. These models are designed to be applied to a variety of geographies using local and nationally developed datasets. Once land acquisition priorities have been identified, TPL works with city and county governments and organizations to identify funding sources, take out partners and facilitates the transactions. Software used to develop and implement the model suite include ArcGIS, ModelBuilder, ArcGlobe, ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension, and CommunityViz.
