Urban Forestry Tree Mapping Resources

The Wisconsin Urban and Community Forests Newsletter published in their Summer 2007 Issue a list of Tree Inventory and Management Software (compiled by the Midwest Center for Urban & Community Forestry)

These resources can be used in to define the current urban forest, and aid in developing maintenance schedules or canopy goals. Many municipalities are putting an increased emphasis on tree inventories in order to prepare for the possible Emerald Ash Borer infestation.

The Illinois DNR Urban and Community Forest program recommends tree assessment and management plans as part of their EAB Community Readiness Plan
