Two from Michael Oxman

On the Parks and Open Space Advocates Yahoo! Group today, Michael Oxman sent on two very interesting links to two studies. The first is from American Forests, which was looking at regional forest cover changes in the Puget Sound. Though there is some dust on the report, it is pretty interesting.

The second article is from Stormwater magazine, but again features American Forests, this time showcasing their CITYGreen GIS software. This technology allows municipalities--in the article it is San Diego and the Carolinas--to quatify the eco-systems services that their local green infrastructures provide.
