A remote sensing geography
class from BU played a key role in the conservation of a 14-acre southern
Florida forest [bloomu.us5.list-manage.com] home to protected
wildlife that’s been fending off urban and commercial development for the past
60 years.
In November, the Boynton Beach City Commission turned down a developer’s bid to
purchase the land where it planned to build nearly 100 single-family homes. The
residents’ plea to save Nickels Forest was aided by the proposed data analysis
of area satellite imagery by BU students this past fall for their Remote
Sensing of the Environment class. Their professor presented to the commission a
plan to analyze urban growth and reduction of green cover with Nickels Forest
being the center of focus.
