Recently released 2017-2018 1-meter resolution land use/land cover data and accompanying land use/land cover change data give us an incredible opportunity to learn about Chesapeake forests at a finer scale than ever before. The State of Chesapeake Forests 2.0 Story Map uses this new data to provide an updated understanding of the State of Chesapeake Forests and how they are changing. This evaluation includes forests in natural settings as well as tree cover in the cities and communities where many people live and play.</p>
