NFS Tree Plotter Inventory
The image below shows current inventory progress on the Westview Arboretum. The arboretum is one of over 150 communities and sites across Nebraska that are included in the inventory to better understand the health and community benefits provided by urban forests in Nebraska. Westview's inventory is being coordinated by Graham Herbst, NE Community Forester. Tree species, size, and relative health information for all major trees on the site will be collected that will provide a basis for calculating the ecosystem services that trees provide. Some of these services include stormwater management, air quality enhancement, heat island moderation, and carbon storage.Students will help collect this information, and then use it to enhance their understanding of the tangible benefits that nature can provide in moderating urban conditions and enhancing our quality-of-life.
