The Boston Urban Forest Plan is a year-long effort made up of several phases. The first part of our work was the urban forest street tree inventory — an assessment of the existing conditions of the public street trees throughout Boston. The data collected during this tree inventory provides an important snapshot in time of the condition of Boston’s street trees. Now that the inventory is complete, we'll be diving into the data to see what it tells us about this piece of the urban forest.
