Dashboard Summary:
This interactive GIS tool identifies microclimate conditions across local trail networks by intersecting vector path features with high-resolution regional elevation structures and tree canopy matrices. Use this map layer to discover optimized paths based on shade density and physical slope difficulty.

Heavily Shaded (75% - 100%)
Moderate Canopy (50% - 75%)
Light Savannah (25% - 50%)
Exposed Prairie (0% - 25%)
