Tree Planting Site
Selection Model
Hot Spots
Eight "hot spots" (areas where most or all of the model criteria occurred)
emerged from the modeling process (Figure 2). These hot spots serve as target
neighborhoods for residential tree planting efforts. Figure 3 shows an example
of the site selection model output overlaid on an aerial photograph
for the hot spot identified as number 3 in Figure 2. Areas tinted red on
the photo meet at least 8 criteria in the site selection model.
