2018 The Garden Club of America Zone VI Fellowship in Urban Forestry
Amy M. Blood is a PhD candidate studying urban forestry in the Geospatial and Environmental Analysis Graduate Program at Virginia Tech. She repurposes underutilized datasets to address large-scale urban forestry challenges. She will be combining ground based measurements and geospatial data from multiple cities to develop a classification of different forms, structures, and con gurations (a “typology”) of the landscape types present in urban forests. She will develop a classification system for these types and qualitatively assess their unique ecohydrological characteristics. Understanding where these landscape types occur in urban environments may improve stormwater management and related tree planting and conservation policies.
