Tree lnvnt ~jc c~°iti with of rc <br />City of Dahlone~a, Georgia <br />Contact: Joel Cordle 706-~64-6133 <br />Davey conducted aGIS-based tree inventory for the City of Dahlonega, Georgia in February, <br />2009. A Davey urban forester collected data on 800 trees and potential planting sites. Each <br />tree was inspected by an ISA Certified Arborist, who assessed tree health and structure, <br />evaluated site conditions, and recommended prioritized maintenance needs in accordance <br />with ANSI A300 standards. Tree attribute and location data were collected using pen-tablet <br />computers loaded with an orthophotograph, City GIS basemaps, and Davey's customized <br />ArcPad data collection program. The inventory data were analyzed by a Davey senior urban <br />forester to develop a custom tree management and planting plan for the City. The custom <br />plan is based on tree inventory data collected by Davey, current arboricultural standards, and <br />input from the City about historical and ecotourism benefits of the local tree species. The <br />plan provides the City with amulti-year program for street tree maintenance and <br />management that is easy to use and administer. <br />City of Maitland, Florida <br />Contact: Brian Dierks <br />407-539-6252 <br />Davey performed a public street tree inventory in the City of Maitland. Using pen-tablet <br />computers, data were collected on more than 6,400 street trees. Tree locations were <br />determined using a combination of GIS and GPS technology and information about <br />individual trees was collected by an ISA Certified Ar•borist. The inventory data were <br />delivered to the City via Davey's TreeKeeper° 7 stand-alone software, where data can be <br />easily queried, tracked, updated, and mapped. Acity-wide tree management plan was <br />developed from the tree inventory data that detailed the management needs of the City's <br />urban forest and an estimated five-year tree maintenance budget. <br />City of Jacksonville, Florida <br />Contact: Don Robertson <br />904-472-2900 <br />Davey has conducted a street and park tree inventory for the City of Jacksonville. Davey <br />urban foresters collected data on over 47,000 trees, stumps, and potential planting sites. Each <br />tree was inspected by an ISA Certified Arborist, who assessed tree health and structure, <br />evaluated site conditions, and recommended prioritized maintenance needs. Tree attribute <br />and location data were collected using pen-tablet computers. Tree locations were determined <br />using a combination of GIS and GPS technology. The data were loaded into Davey's <br />TreeKeeper®7 subscription software which allows the City to plan and schedule work, print <br />reports, and maintain an up-to-date inventory. Color, large-format wall maps were also <br />produced to display the results of the neighborhood inventories. In addition to the street and <br />park tree inventory, the City of Jacksonville commissioned a specialized management plan <br />for Mandarin Road's "Patriarch Trees". Mandarin Road is designated as a scenic and historic <br />road, and the centuries-old live oaks lining the street make it a unique and special public <br />right-of--way. This plan summarized the urban forest condition and characteristics for all <br />public trees along Mandarin Road, and made individual tree preservation recommendations <br />for the historic trees. <br />Davey 5 <br />
