Vegetation Cover <strong>of</strong> Settlements<br />
Shrub was the most common vegetative cover <strong>of</strong> squatter settlements. The tree cover <strong>of</strong> more<br />
than sixty percent (60%) <strong>of</strong> the squatter settlements in Portland is agricultural crops. St. Thomas,<br />
Hanover and St. Elizabeth also have a large percentage, with over thirty percent (30%) <strong>of</strong> their<br />
squatter settlements with agricultural crops as the vegetation cover. None <strong>of</strong> the settlements<br />
were void <strong>of</strong> vegetative cover (See Figure 11).<br />
