Tree canopy assessment to aid planting in Adrian - Adrian, MI

Tree canopy assessment to aid planting in Adrian - Adrian, MI - The Daily Telegram

A new assessment of Adrian’s tree canopy will help the city prioritize where it plants new trees, superintendent of parks and forestry Justin Combs said.

Among other things, the assessment looked at what portion of the city is covered by trees and how the trees are divided among different land uses, and it prioritized the best places to plant trees for maximum benefit.

The assessment was done with the help of a $22,400 grant from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and an $11,200 match from the city’s Fee Estate and storm water utilities funds.
