Project Proposal

Project Description:

7

This demonstration will focus on a tree inventory project as part of a

Community Forestry Master Plan in the Borough of Collingswood, New Jersey.

This plan is in compliance with the Borough’s Shade Tree Advisory Council and

encompasses approximately 1.923 square miles, of which more than 60 acres

are Knight’s Park (public park), and ultimately 6,000 trees. It should be noted

that although we are describing a tree inventory project throughout this

seminar, the principles and techniques can be applied to any inventory

project that requires the collection of a large amount of data (e.g., storm

sewers, sanitary sewers, cadastral mapping, and water distribution systems).

Project Proposal

Project Criteria:

8

1. Collingswood Shade Tree Advisory Council needed a tree inventory of alltrees along right-of-ways and other properties owned or maintained bythe Borough

2. The tree inventory will be used to update the Borough’s CommunityForestry Plan

3. The Forestry Plan will assist the Public Works Department withmaintenance needs and enhance future tree selection fornew/replacement plantings

4. The critical component of the plan will be the correct maintenance of theinventory after the project is complete

5. Deliver the surveyed trees as a feature class within a File Geodatabasewith appropriate metadata

6. Any/all photo locations will also be linked to the GIS database foradditional reference

Project Proposal

Project Technical Requirements:

9

1. Locate (GPS coordinates to nearest street address) all trees within theBorough (approximately 1,230-acre area) within public parks and right-of-ways

2. Identify type/species of tree, approximate size (diameter of trunk, canopyspread, estimated height), health and/or overall condition

3. Calculate summary statistics for all of the surveyed trees

• Proximity to overhead/underground utilities, traffic signals, signage, etc.

• Immediate maintenance needed due to insects, disease, lightning, etc.

• Impact of root system on curb/sidewalk

• Hazard potential (hanging limbs, extensive dead wood, etc.)

4. Determine the number of trees to be removed for public safety

5. Create maps depicting removed trees, as well as remaining trees

• All trees given a unique identification number based on GPS location and/orother criteria to facilitate the GIS mapping process

criteria to facilitate the GIS mapping process

• Survey Teams can field collect and/or locate asset data using GPS survey methods.

Such as:

• Identify type/species of tree

• approximate size (diameter of trunk,

• canopy spread, estimated height),

• health and/or overall condition

What is Metadata?

• Metadata describes…• Content, quality, condition and other characteristics about data

• Who, what, where, why and how of a data set

• Metadata includes information you need to…• Determine which data exist for a geographic location

• Determine if a set meets your need

• Acquire the set you identified

• Process and use the set

• Metadata answers questions…• Who created and maintains the data?

• Why were the data created?

• What is the content and structure of the data?

• When collected? When published?

• Where’s the geographic location?

• How were the data produced?
