Municipal Tree Inventory


Introduction:

The Municipality will produce an inventory of all trees located on municipal rights-of-way within settlement areas (Leith, Annan, Bognor and the former Town) of the Municipality of Meaford, as well as at municipal facilities, cemeteries, and parks. Collating a tree inventory will allow the Municipality to properly manage its tree assets.

Project Description:

This project will involve:

  • Conducting a survey of all trees on Municipal properties within the urban area, hamlets, and parks of Meaford to create GIS-based inventory.
  • An initial assessment of the health and risk of trees on Municipal lands which may include: species, size, condition/hazard rating, owner (municipal and shared), maintenance recommendation and general comments.
  • Compiling a spatially accurate inventory and initial assessment of trees on Municipal property, to facilitate the management of these assets that make up the urban forest.
