Therefore we have developed an approach that surveys only a sample of the trees in a city/town, but still allows us to accurately estimate the total number of trees and tree species composition. Surveyors will walk a number of routes (0.5 km in length) that have been randomly located throughout their urban centre, identifying trees to genus (or to species if possible) as they go. In total, the routes will cover about 10% of the total length of roads in each urban centre.</span><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'>Astrid Nielsen, RPF <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'>Section Manager, Forest Planning and Protection Unit<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'>Forestry Services, City of Ottawa</span><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'> </span></b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'><br></span><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:gray'>, </span><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'>100 Constellation Ave. | Ottawa, Ontario, K2G 6J8| </span><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:gray'>(</span><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'> (613) 580-2400 x15258 | Fax: (613)580-2611 </span><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN style='font-size:9.5pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN-CA>This e-mail originates from the City of Ottawa e-mail system.
