[CANUFNET] Urban Forest Carbon

[Shawn Dias via CANUFNET]

Hi Frederik,

The City of Morden, Parks Department recently completed a street and park tree inventory.  The attribute list is as follows:
Spp
Height (m)
Condition
Age (sample taken by spp, by diameter class)
Disease Type (fungus, insect, bacterial)
Action Needed (replanting, pruning, cable/bolt, lifting, removal, treatment, stump grinding)
Year Planted
Year Pruned
Year Cabled/bolted
Year Insecticide
Year Basal Spray
Year Fungicide
Year Foliar Treatment
Year Fertilized
Site Location (boulevard no sidewalk, boulevard sidewalk, boulevard hardscaped, park, natural area)
DBH
Damage Type (salt, mechanical, animal, wind, vandalism, fire, frost crack, split at co dom union, included bark)
Hazard Type (public safety, overhead utilities, sidewalks, buildings)

We are using ArcGIS collector app on ipad/iphones. We are in the developing phase of our Urban Forestry Program and our next step is to create an urban forestry management plan, this plan may consider forestry carbon but we are not quite there yet.  If we use a consultant for our UFMP, then i-tree analysis may be utilized as part of that service, but again we have not used it to date.

I would be glad to help where needed and share the information we have to-date.

Thanks,

Shawn Dias

Dear Members of the Canadian Urban Forest Network,
My name is Frederik Vroom, I work for Tree Canada, managing the Carbon & Climate Programs. As an organization, Tree Canada is interested in quantifying the benefits of urban forests. The focus of my role is on carbon storage.
In order to better understand the current state of knowledge and work done on quantification of carbon stored in our nation's urban forests we are looking for information and contacts of people, universities, municipalities, and other organisations who can answer the following questions:
-       Which municipalities have inventories of street and park trees and what is the attribute data that is being collected?
-       Which groups/people have looked at urban forest carbon issues in their municipalities?
-       Which groups/people have done any i-Tree analysis in their municipalities?
Our goal is to create an overview of the available information and knowledge regarding urban forest carbon and urban forest inventories.
If you have any details or connections that you can share with us, or if you have experience in conducting i-Tree analysis, please contact me directly at: fvroom at treecanada.ca<mailto:fvroom at treecanada.ca>
Regards
Frederik Vroom
