As an essential component of progressive urban planning, the use of green infrastructure within public projects offers many benefits. The Atlanta Beltline includes bioswales, -mow landscapes, and extensive tree planting as green infrastructure–but how do the benefits of these methods measure up? What are the best ways to measure the impact of an urban tree capy? How do you compare the sustainability impact of mown vs. unmown landscapes? Is there a way to measure ecological success with pollinator plantings? Trees Atlanta’s Director of Conservation will present several methods of quantifying success for green infrastructure, from tree capy benefits to petrochemical inputs to pollinator prevalence.
By attending this session, participants will be better able to:
• Quantify the benefits of capy trees as a component of green infrastructure.
• Conceptualize the measurable benefits of low- or -mow landscapes.
• Use tools to predict the potential for impact of green infrastructure projects.
