CANOPY CONTINUUM

 

The Treasure Valley Canopy Network has partnered with Portland State University to explore the link between environmental and human health in communities throughout the Treasure Valley. There are 3 key components to this project, including: Air Quality Monitoring, Urban Heat Measurement and examining links between Environmental and Human Health.

Air Quality Monitoring — In Winter 2018, we established PurpleAir air quality monitoring stations throughout the valley.

Urban Heat Watch — In Summer 2019, we completed a regional urban heat study.

Links between environmental and human health — Our healthcare partners are gathering human health data to inform this final stage of the Canopy Continuum Project.
