The Green Infrastructure Map
In urban planning, trees aren't just decoration; they are critical infrastructure. If you are managing your city's canopy on paper maps or generic spreadsheets, you are blind to the health of your urban forest. You might know there is a tree at "123 Main St," but do you know its dbh (Diameter at Breast Height) or if it has a Conflict with wires? Without a rigorous, geo-tagged census of every Species Code and its ownership status, you cannot effectively plan for maintenance or mitigate risks. You aren't just "counting trees"; you are managing a living asset class that interacts with power lines, sidewalks, and private property.
This template is a digital технічний map for the urban forester. It transforms the complex biological reality of a neighborhood into a structured database of verified environmental data.
The Biometric Census
The strength of this system is its focus on physical dimensions. It captures the total height and height to base of crown, metrics that are essential for pruning schedules and clearance calculations. The Tree Condition section allows for a rapid assessment of health, tracking Defoliation and Reduced crown on a 0-3 scale. This standardized scoring allows you to heat-map stress areas across the city. Is the Block code A-14 showing higher rates of decline? Is it due to hard surface compaction? The data tells the story.
Conflict Resolution
The ultimate value of this system is the infrastructure integration. By explicitly logging conflicts with wires ("n" for none, "p" for potential, "e" for existing), you create a prioritized work list for utility crews. The location field classifies the site (front yard, backyard, street, park), clarifying access rights and maintenance responsibility. You move from reactive trimming to predictive canopy management, ensuring that every Tree name represents a monitored, valued, and safe component of the urban landscape.
