American Forests’ History Started in 1875 Began the Conservation Movement US Forests Service 1906

The Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) is a nationally standardized database of land cover and land change information, developed using remotely sensed imagery, for the coastal regions of the U.S. C-CAP products inventory coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and adjacent uplands with the goal of monitoring these habitats by updating the land cover maps every five years.

31,691,855 gallons 1 cu. ft. = 7.48 gallons

1,365, 077,682.7 gallons [1 cu ft = 7.48 gallons]

1,865,574,450.7 gallon [1 cu ft = 7.48 gallons]

What Do We Do About This? Preserve and Plant Trees Use Low Impact Development Techniques Eliminate Runoff Where Ever We Can Don’t Allow Variances
