Street
and Park Tree Inventories
Today
it is important for municipalities to incorporate tree-risk
management programs. This helps to ensure the safety of the public
and helps to reduce the liabilities of the municipality. A tree
inventory serves as the basis of a community tree management program
by documenting the condition of the community's urban forest.
Inventories can identify species, size, and conditions for the trees
within given boundaries. They can also identify characteristics of
trees that could lead to problems in the future. Some of these
characteristics may be disease, insect damage, poor form, or poor
growing conditions. I can perform these inventories so that the
municipality can design a program that will help manage its urban
forest resource.
