Inventorying Village Parkway Trees

The Village of Lincolnshire has recently completed an extensive update of its computerized street and park tree inventory. The useful information gathered, such as each tree’s species, size, location, and condition, can now be manipulated, grouped, and analyzed to determine how to best manage Lincolnshire’s urban forest resources.

The new computerized tree inventory will help the Village respond more effectively to forestry health concerns, such as Gypsy Moth, Dutch Elm disease, and storm damage. It will also aid in the prioritizing of tree pruning, removal, planting, and health management efforts.

In the coming months, information reports generated from the new computerized tree inventory, will guide a Villagewide effort to prune or remove all public trees identified to be hazardous. In addition, by late Spring, the computerized inventory will be acting as the primary resource in a new tree planting initiative that seeks to systematically fill all viable tree planting locations on public property.

In a nut shell, the new computerized tree inventory will be an invaluable tool in our ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the health of Lincolnshire’s resident tree population.
