A single tree's canopy can cool a sidewalk by as much as 12°C.

During a record-breaking heat wave, a tree does something an air conditioner never can: cool the whole street, for free.

Mixed clouds over a nearby urban forest. More rain expected today; clearing up by evening.
Tomorrow's forecast is all sunshine. Perfect conditions for our galpals mini golf adventure 😊

🛰️ This is an RGB composite of derived metrics from Calgary satellite imagery at a 10x10m resolution. Extracting these additional urban environmental indicators significantly enhances the quality of data analysis and, consequently, the decisions based on it. Currently, one version of my Tree Canopy model has achieved 96.8% accuracy, a testament to the high precision of the methodology.

💻 I am now retraining the machine learning model to move beyond analyzing Calgary in large blocks and focus on every individual yard. This will allow us to account for not only large forest patches but also, where possible, every mature tree in the city — including those behind your fence or right under your window. These residential trees are what provide the shade, comfort, and fresh air we all enjoy. My goal is to ensure the final assessment reflects the contribution of every single tree to our environmental quality.

5. Greater tree canopy zoning powers, awaiting Governor's action. This was a major ask from the public in the local zoning rewrite but we were limited by state regs. Should this become law, we can increase protections in sensitive areas like flood plains and along rivers and streams. #VALeg #TreeCanopy #zoning #FloodSafety #CleanWater #SaveTheBay https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB549

I took this photo looking straight up into the dense, wild canopy of an old oak woodland. What grabbed me was how the sheer chaos of the branches and leaves turned into this beautiful, almost abstract pattern in black and white.

Lose yourself in the intricate, tangled beauty of this black and white oak tree canopy.

This photograph captures the dramatic, skeletal structure of ancient tree limbs reaching out against a bright, luminous sky. The monochrome treatment emphasizes the deep textures of the bark and the complex, layered density of the foliage, creating a feeling of both mystery and timeless strength.
