Grow with the FLOW
One of the many ways we are aiming to enhance the health of the Olentangy Watershed is through campaigning for the planting of trees. Our goal is to partner with the Olentangy Watershed community and have everyone planting and caring for trees. We will do this by:
- Providing the community with education on the variety of benefits that come with planting these earth-loving, oxygen-providing, water quality-enhancing wonders!
- Columbus Neighborhood Urban Tree Canopy Coverage
- Urban Heat Island Effect will be significantly reduced!
- The Benefits of Trees
- The I-tree tool will help you analyse the benefit of a tree you currently have or will assess the benefit over a period of time. Assess the impact of the trees on your property now and nurture that tree love!
- Cranbrook I-tree Assessment – This report is an example of what you can learn about the trees on your property. It covers the tree impact we’ve made and will continue to have at Cranbrook Elementary since planting them Fall 2016.
