What is a Tree Inventory?

A tree inventory involves identifying and evaluating the trees located on a specific property or area. This process includes:

• Identification of tree species

• Assessment of the health and vitality of each tree

• Measurement of tree dimensions, such as diameter at breast height (DBH) and total height

• Precise geographic location of each tree

• Recommendations for maintenance, preservation, or removal if necessary

Why Conduct a Tree Inventory?

There are several benefits to conducting a tree inventory:

• Proactive management of risks posed by diseased or hazardous trees

• Efficient planning of maintenance and planting work

• Increased property value through better knowledge of your tree coverage

• Support for local biodiversity by preserving native species
