| 2013 Update for Village Preservation District Tree Canopy |
Glynn County GIS is updating the 1973-2003 Tree Cover study with the 2013 aerials. Glynn County GIS has also updated the 2007 aerials for the Village Preservation District (VPD). We have VPD tree canopy cover data back to 1973. In 1973 the Village Preservation District canopy coverage was 66.2%. The 1998 tree canopy coverage of the Village Preservation District (VPD) in 1998 was 59.8%. The attached Excel document shows the 2007 canopy coverage of the VPD was 52% (56.49 acres of shade over the 108.51 acre VPD). The 2013 aerials show canopy coverage of 54.87% (59.54 acres of canopy /108.51 acres of VPD) in 2013. The VPD lost 8.4 acres (7.9%) of its canopy over the nine (9) year span from 1998 to 2007 – a time of active development on the Island generally – but recovered three (3) of the 8.4 acres of lost canopy through natural tree growth of about half an acre of new shade per year from 2007 to 2013 read more...
