Valuation

  • We don't have access to the internal valuation of the trees, as calculated by the city
  • We can do some heuristics about the number of replacement trees that a given tree is worth. How many young, small trees does it take to replace an old large one?
  • itree planting: free software provided by the US Forest Service to provide environmental benefits of a tree. https://landscape.itreetools.org/

Management

  • There is data about pruning cycles, might be interesting to show.
  • There is a five year planting plan, replacement species, could be useful to the city for quick queries.
  • Different avenues have different tree themes.
  • There is a plan for species diversity, helpful to guard against pests and diversity.
  • Tree removal notices

Community

  • Statistics for neighborhoods
  • Show management plans on a per-neighborhood basis: "not just NoMa".

Database

  • Can we bring back replacement species in the data? It is probably not accurate on a per-planting-unit basis, more like a per-management-unit.
  • How often to update?
  • Sounds like we should add management units to the database.

ArborAccess does a lot of the things that we are talking about. But it is closed-source and oriented around urban forest management.
