I very much agree with this! I would emphasize that tree canopy is a much more important metric than number of trees. A metric of tree canopy favors larger, more established trees, which provide many more biodiversity benefits than younger trees. It also allows us to better track the impact of Mountain View's Heritage Tree Ordinance.

The more I reread this post the more important it becomes. Yes it is important to have goals for Native trees, Native, bushes/shrubs, feet of fnative flower beds, animal/insect/bird counts. Without it we have project slide which there has been a lot of recently.

There was a member of the Parks&Rec commission that said the burrowing owl count is posted regularly publicly on Mountain View's website, but I can't find it anywhere. The burrowing owl count has been inconsistent across different orgs since I started helping save them 7-8 years ago. I've noticed the latest published data that PRC shared was VASTLY different than the data I'd collected directly from our full-time biologist--and it was presented in a way that made it look like the burrowing owls in Shoreline are doing better than they actually are. The numbers I'm referring to are sometimes 200% different! That's a HUGE discrepancy that can't be explained "because the owls move around a lot."

This is a good idea- Burrowing owl numbers and that of other Shoreline at risk species could be placed in a way that could be found by the public for transparency. Also as the Mayor says 'if you measure it you can manage it.'
