Portsmouth VA is ranked “at risk” by the Economic Innovation Group (EIG), with nearly a third of
the city’s population living in zip codes deemed “distressed”. These areas also have relatively
low tree cover and higher impervious surfaces, potentially leading to extreme heat stress. Urban
tree planting can have a mitigating effect on heat stress and can contribute to overall wellness
and attractiveness to businesses and customers. For this project, funded by a grant through the
VA Department of Forestry, we measured urban heat stress in Portsmouth to better target
efforts to mitigate extreme heat. Results are being shared with the community, and they are
being engaged in developing local solutions. We are working with the community and city to
plan and carry out an intensive tree planting program using native species for areas that emerge
as most distressed based on heat & demographic factors.
The goals of this project are to 1) map the urban heat islands (UHI) in Portsmouth, VA by direct
on-the-ground measurement using a citizen science model, 2) identify neighborhoods in
Portsmouth that are at high risk for extreme urban heat by combining the heat maps with
demographic data using GIS analysis, 3) engage the community in a collaborative process to
identify intervention solutions, and 4) conduct heat mitigation interventions by removing
pavement and planting trees, in specific areas identified through the collaborative community
engagement.
