  • St. Louis Urban Tree Canopy Assessment Forest Releaf of Missouri Donna Coble, Executive Director Mike Walsh, Forestry Programs Manager
    St. Louis Urban Tree Canopy Assessment Forest ReLeaf of Missouri Donna Coble, Executive Director Mike Walsh, Forestry Programs Manager April 2012 Photo by John Martin,Photo by courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden ABSTRACT: Our urban forests are in decline. Among a city’s most basic and critical assets are its trees. Trees clean and cool the air, capture and sequester carbon, reduce energy costs, help reduce storm water runoff, minimize erosion, improve water quality, provide habitat for native wildlife, increase home values, beautify our neighborhoods, and enrich our lives. Across the U.S., recent studies have documented significant tree cover decline in urban areas. In 2010, Forest ReLeaf of Missouri (FRM), with funding from Missouri Department of Conservation, and in collaboration with the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County and Metropolitan Sewer District, conducted an Urban Tree Canopy (UTC) Assessment to map tree cover using satellite imagery and GIS technology. For the area studied, UTC was recorded at 26%, significantly lower than the 40% American Forests recommends. The assessment also calculated the ecosystem-services value of the study’s trees at more than $70 million and identified capacity to increase UTC by 10 percent. While the 2010 assessment serves as a critical local benchmark of existing UTC and the associated benefits, it covered only the city and portions of St. Louis County. To develop strategic, targeted tree planting and maintenance plans, a more comprehensive assessment of the entire St. Louis region is needed. Notably, once a UTC baseline for the region is established, the East-West Council of Governments can then incorporate this metric into a new Regional Plan for Sustainable Development.
