Updates on PHP Wetlands Mitigation Project

The students of the Environmental Studies Program working with the COVB Public Works Dept. and the City Arborist have made progress with the tree/plant survey of the Wetlands project area at PHP. The survey includes: DBH ( diameter 4.5 ft above ground) minimum diameter 1.6 inches (circumference 5 in.), condition (including dead), classification: common name, invasive plant/tree etc. Here is the link to the survey still in progress. Right now you can click on individual dots (trees) to see information for that tree. A summary will follow which will allow counts of categories.

Councilman Schulman has formed a working group to coordinate efforts of environmental and other groups including Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Lynnhaven River Now, Friends of Live Oaks, Environmental Studies Program, Bayfront Advisory Commission, Ocean Park Civic League, Baylake Pines Civic League and volunteers to mitigate impacts on trees and wildlife.
