By mapping 5.3 million trees and creating a heat risk index, the city is deploying $6 million to plant 5,000 trees where they matter most.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Downtown Chattanooga hits 112 degrees Fahrenheit on summer afternoons. Three miles away in the Moccasin Bend neighborhood, temperatures drop to 90 degrees. That 22-degree gap highlights the role of trees as nature\u2019s air conditioning. Tree shade blocks direct sunlight, leaves release water vapor, and tree canopies channel a breeze.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cChattanooga sits in the big bowl of the Tennessee River Valley\u2014heat and moisture come up from the Gulf and get trapped here,\u201d said Charlie Mix, director of the Center for Applied Geospatial Data Science at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. \u201cIt gets even hotter downtown where there\u2019s a lack of tree canopy. If you have a neighborhood with shade, your cooling costs are going to be cheaper. There\u2019s a real economic benefit, not just an ecological one.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fewer trees mean higher risk to elderly residents in homes without air conditioning, children in concrete schoolyards, and families without transportation to reach cooler areas. To address that risk, Mix and his team set out to map every tree in the city using aerial imagery, artificial intelligence (AI), and geographic information system (GIS) technology.<\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[770271,770267,770269,770268]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>AI Models Drive Discovery, and Impact Policy<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sending arborists to walk every street and count every tree would have taken years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mix had a faster approach: teach a computer to see trees. Working with aerial imagery from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Mix trained a deep learning model to distinguish tree canopy from rooftops, pavement, and grass.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the model analyzes an aerial image, it traces every tree crown with precision. The model counted 5.3 million trees across Chattanooga with 97 percent accuracy.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mix ran the model on aerial imagery from 2014. Comparing historical count to 2023 analysis showed Chattanooga had lost 2,837 acres of canopy\u20143 percent in nine years. Since 1984, the city had lost 48 percent of its forest cover.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data showed not just a current state, but a trajectory. The hottest neighborhoods would only get hotter.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis really makes a case for preserving our canopy,\u201d Mix said. In cities where tree loss continues unchecked, canopy eventually correlates with wealth\u2014rich neighborhoods keep their shade, poor neighborhoods lose it.<\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[770254,770917,770263,770258]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The USDA Forest Service awarded Chattanooga a $6 million grant for an initiative to plant 5,000 trees in priority areas. To determine where those trees should go, Mix created a heat risk index combining surface temperatures with demographics\u2014households with young children and seniors, homes without air conditioning, car ownership rates, and poverty levels.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One neighborhood topped the index: Orchard Knob. The irony wasn\u2019t lost on anyone\u2014the area named for a long-ago cluster of fruit trees had few trees and dangerously high surface temperatures. There was one problem: Orchard Knob sat outside the grant\u2019s original boundaries. Fortunately, the Forest Service approved a boundary change based on Mix\u2019s analysis.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chattanoogatreeproject.org\/\">Chattanooga Tree Project<\/a> brings together city government, academia, nonprofits, and federal agencies to plant those 5,000 trees in places with the greatest human need and environmental return.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Seeing Trees as Green Infrastructure<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The analysis led to policy change.

Recently, his focus has shifted to land development\u2014guiding where trees are planted, how many, and which species for every project site.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAt least a third of my time is spent in plan reviews and site inspections of construction projects,\u201d said Stewart, who reviews development plans to balance tree inventory and gauge how new construction will affect existing canopy. \u201cWay more trees are planted by developers and affected through construction than any other activity.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>From Smokestacks to Strategic Urban Forestry<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chattanooga\u2019s focus on trees carries historical weight. In 1969, a report from the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare identified Chattanooga as having the nation\u2019s worst air pollution. As Mix described it, \u201cThe story goes, you could go to work in the morning wearing a white T-shirt and by the end of the day it would be gray from the smoke from all the steel foundries.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Chattanooga is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/blog\/chattanoogas-mayor-kelly-maps-americas-first-national-park-city\">North America\u2019s first National Park City<\/a>, an international designation recognizing the city\u2019s commitment to integrating nature into urban life. But as development accelerates and temperatures rise, maintaining the tree canopy becomes both more challenging and more critical.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chattanooga GIS team, led by manager Brendan Cleary, created a dashboard integrating tree data with the Forest Service\u2019s freely available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itreetools.org\/\">i-Tree tool<\/a> to track progress and attach monetary value to each tree\u2014annual property value increases, gallons of stormwater intercepted, and pounds of air pollution filtered.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tree-lined streets show measurable property value premiums. Hospital admission rates for respiratory illness correlate inversely with tree coverage. A mature street tree intercepts thousands of gallons of stormwater annually, reducing overflow and treatment costs and improving water quality. The GIS dashboards make these quantifiable benefits visible citywide.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also show that trees do more than filter the air\u2014they help circulate it. Chattanooga is exploring adding air quality sensors mounted to buses to measure air pollution in each neighborhood. That data layered onto tree coverage maps will show where stagnant air necessitates the planting of more trees.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a city that cleared its air of industrial smoke, the goal of strategic tree planting is within reach. \u201cThe resilience of nature is pretty amazing,\u201d Mix said. \u201cWe have a real opportunity to protect these forests now, so our neighborhoods don\u2019t become hotter in the future.\u201d<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/industries\/forestry\/overview\">GIS helps municipal foresters map and manage the trees in their city<\/a>.<\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","layout":"standard","image_reference":null,"image_reference_figure":"","spotlight_image":null,"section_title":"","spotlight_name":"","position":"Center","content":"<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Replicating Success Across Tennessee<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The innovative mapping techniques developed for Chattanooga aren\u2019t staying within city limits. Charlie Mix and his team at UTC\u2019s Center for Applied Geospatial Data Science are now extending this work to 24 small communities across Tennessee\u2014places that lack the GIS departments, trained staff, and technical resources of larger cities.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through a partnership with the Tennessee Division of Forestry\u2019s Urban &amp; Community Forestry Program, UTC students are using the same deep learning models and high-resolution satellite imagery to map urban forests, measure heat severity, and identify vulnerable populations in towns with fewer than 50,000 residents. Communities like Tullahoma are receiving comprehensive urban canopy assessments at no cost, funded through federal Forest Service grants.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThese are all communities that have come to the state\u2019s new program wanting that assistance,\u201d Mix said.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The students use GIS to create land-cover maps, overlay demographic data, and build interactive dashboards local officials can use to guide planting decisions. One graduate student is mapping her own hometown, bringing cutting-edge geospatial tools to the community where she grew up.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Mix, it\u2019s about democratizing access to data-driven environmental planning. Small cities with limited or no GIS capacity can make informed decisions about where to plant trees, ensuring the benefits of strategic urban forestry reach Tennessee communities of all sizes.<\/p>","snippet":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[770280,770281,770282]}],"references":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9
