The research and analysis of the Green
Visions Plan is done. This extraordinary
effort is documented on our publications
page here.
These documents are available as a
reference source for any interested
parties.
The online tools developed to share
information from the plan are maintained
here. These tools are incoporated into
the grant application process for the
Rivers and Mountains Conservancy and are
used by park planners and advocates around
the region. They include an innovative
"what-if" tool that calculates the service
area and demographics of potential park
sites. There is also a "what-if" tool for
restoration of native habitats that
calculates which target species would
potentially be supported by any
restoration. Finally, the tool includes
layers describing the results of our
region-wide water quality monitoring. A
tutorial to get started with the tools is
found at this
link.
The USC research team continues to support
these online tools. Active research and
tool development may be reinitiated in the
future as needed and funded to meet the
needs of the region.
