Overview

Comparing historical data provides great insight into how our canopy is changing over relatively short periods of time. At first glance it can be difficult to recognise any change, however if you look closely...

Each point on the maps represent an area. In this case each area is a circle. Each circle has a radius of 100m. The colours represent how much canopy falls within that circle area. Dark green represents a lot of canopy cover while red represents a small amount of canopy cover.
