Presentation transcript:

1 The Challenge Preserving forest cover, parkland and open space can help to meet needs for water quality, air quality, recreation and wildlife habitat in the coming years. Elevate the value of forests / forest cover in local and regional planning. In what ways can the region accommodate growth while maintaining and enhancing forests and tree canopy and other green infrastructure?

2 The Strategy Land Use Planning and Regulation (including dedicated forested lands or districts) Landowner Education Maintaining Forest Health Funded Annual Reforestation Programs (Tracking, database management, etc.) Management of Exotic and Invasive Plants Management of Nuisance Wildlife Species (Deer, Voles, Beaver)

3 Population growth in the COG region projected to grow 24% from 4.5 to 5.6 million by Conservatively the region is losing at least 28 acres per day (16 mi 2 /yr) of open space.* (Losing the equivalent land cover area of DC every four years) Nearly half of development prior to 1986 has occurred in the period between 1986 and Funding for major park acquisition programs is expensive (at current urban land values) and generally not growing. * Source: Margaret Maizel One Image, LLC– Green More or Less (Washington Post). The Trend

Stormwater Regulations UTC benefits depend on location, soil infiltration rates, and ability to treat runoff from impervious areas. Credits are being developed for tree planting / reforestation efforts by MDE under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. Chesapeake Stormwater Network is tasked with developing guidelines for tree planting credits under the Chesapeake Bay TMDL in concert with the Forestry Work Group (due in 2013). Quantifying, Tracking and Reporting are the challenges for receiving stormwater credits in urban plantings and retrofit projects. 4

5 Quantifying Regional Forest Cover COG Efforts Regional Green Infrastructure Demonstration Project. Developed Landsat Map of 3000 square mile metropolitan region. Provided recommendations for forest cover enhancement Sub-regional tree canopy analysis grant (Lidar- Based) with the District’s Urban Forestry Administration & USFS. Analysis scheduled for completion in late 2012.
