Mitigation Resources

URBAN AND WILDLAND FORESTS

Our friend Dave Atkins has started a new blog all about FORESTS, with a special section on Trees and Climate. 

Our friends at Trees for Missoula do great work and have some excellent resources about tree planting.

Check out our Blog all about Urban Forests and with a map of tree canopy by neighborhood. Pretty cool.

We have a 2016 report, based on earlier work with the City of Missoula: Climate Change and Missoula's Urban Forest: a tree canopy assessment. 

Local study finds that 13.4 % of Missoula is covered by urban forests. A collaborative group that includes Climate Smart Missoula, Missoula Parks and Recreation, the US Forest Service, and Trees for Missoula, worked on a study to map and evaluate our urban canopy cover, to learn which neighborhoods have more - or fewer - trees.  Check out our infographic below!
