These adopted Green City Partnership monitoring protocols will need to stay consistent between cities to allow for regional tracking and areas of improvement, x but will be flexible enough to be tailored to match different City needs.The end result will be a set of monitoring protocols that will produce consistent data and tracking ability across all Green City Partnership sites and other urban forest natural area restoration efforts. • For the Green Kent Partnership,the following two items will take place in 2012: o Final monitoring protocols will be incorporated into Steward Field Guide,when completed. o Core monitoring protocols can be implemented by City of Kent staff and Stewards,with additional components added as desired. o Regional database of monitoring results developed and report on urban forest and natural area restoration successes and challenges to be shared on-line and made available to other communities and urban forestry programs in the Puget Sound and beyond.
