Incorporating a Natural Asset Inventory into municipal asset management helps municipalities recognize and protect the essential services that natural systems provide, while reducing long-term costs and strengthening overall service reliability.
In this webinar, Patrick Wong, Senior Natural Heritage Planner at City of Markham shared the findings and recommendations of Markham’s Natural Assets Inventory and Evaluation Study. The session will highlight key components of the natural asset inventory—including asset valuation, condition, and levels of service—and provide an overview of how these assets contribute to municipal climate resilience and municipal service delivery.
