EnviroAtlas - New York, NY - Estimated Percent Tree Cover Along Walkable Roads
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This EnviroAtlas dataset estimates tree cover along walkable roads. The road width is estimated for each road and percent
tree cover is calculated in a 8.5 meter strip beginning at the estimated road edge. Percent tree cover is calculated for each
block between road intersections. Tree cover provides valuable benefits to neighborhood residents and walkers by providing
shade, improved aesthetics, and outdoor gathering spaces. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and
online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact
with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United
States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas
map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas
Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).

The purpose of this dataset is to examine tree cover along walkable roads within the study area. The overall goal of EnviroAtlas
is to employ and develop the best available science to map indicators of ecosystem services production, demand, and drivers
for the nation.
