Metro Vancouver

Regional Green Infrastructure Network Mapping (2023-ongoing)

Metro Vancouver collaborates with its member municipalities, First Nations, and stakeholders to protect and restore significant natural areas throughout the lower mainland. To achieve this, it's crucial to identify which areas offer the most value. Diamond Head conducted a Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis to identify critical habitat areas and the corridors linking them. This was based on the SEI database and a least-cost-of-movement analysis. The regional green infrastructure network will guide land-use decisions, prioritize restoration efforts, and aid municipalities in creating their own networks.
