Technical Guides for Urban Tree Monitoring
These Forest Service technical reports are helpful for anyone seeking to repeatedly monitor the same sets of individual trees to assess change over time, such as a repeat inventory of street trees or tracking trees planted through a specific program.
The English versions were led by Lara Roman and Natalie van Doorn, both Forest Service scientists, representing researchers from the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station & Northern Research Station, along with colleagues from universities and urban forestry professionals.
The Spanish translations were done with a bilingual team from Forest Service International Programs and International Institute of Tropical Forestry and support from the Washington Office Urban & Community Forestry team.
