Concord is in the process of conducting a tree inventory throughout the City.
Consultants PlanIT Geo and American Tree Medics have Certified Arborists deployed throughout the community, and they will be working on this project through April 2024.
Tree inventories are an important tool to assist local urban forest managers as they provide a big-picture view of the City’s urban forest, which can be used to identify potential threats to the trees in the city.
They also help to locate potential gaps in canopy coverage and prioritize maintenance efforts and help guide future policy. In this tree inventory, the Certified Arborists will be mapping and evaluating all of the trees, stumps, and potential planting sites within the city rights-of-way, facilities, and public parks. Trees in these locations will be identified and assessed for health, condition, location information, and maintenance needs.
Once collected, the tree and planting site data attributes and locations provide urban forest managers the power to proactively manage their tree population and reduce potential liabilities and prepare for potential threats to the state’s urban forest.
The Arborists are easily identifiable, wearing high visibility safety vests, carrying tablets, and driving a vehicle marked with magnets displaying the company logo.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Public Works Department at 925-671-3444.
an article with so much detail…
funny though….
not a mention of cost to the taxpayers………
.
Concord better have a robust and easily used database.
.
There’s two in that picture but we all know there is only one that is still there.
I call “Shenanigans”!
April Fools already ?
Id bet they gonna recommend to remove the one eucalyptus left there by Mountain Mikes. in the pic. There is almost no dirt around it, its all concrete, cant believe its made it this long.
With this rain….it’s a goner either way
Better catch those trees quick, before they run away! I hope they remove the “touchdown trees”, the ones under power lines with the middle ripped out. They certainly look unsafe!
I WAS RIGHT ! ! ! ! !
.
All those decades ago when I was drinking heavy and looking out the windows, there are Tree Police.
Yeah, tell ’em. “Make like a tree and get outta here!”
Another colossal waste of money.
We’re really spending money on this? We count homeless (now according to one Bay Area TV station who are now our “outdoor neighbors”).
Let’s start counting all kinds of other trivia, and let’s tax anyone who doesn’t come up in the count.
This is really the land of fruits and nuts.
BONE HEAD,

Which SFBA TV station was it?
It was Channel 5. She did it again tonight when talking about the work of the various food banks.
The TV Station got it WRONG! They are Urban Campers!
I love it when the city spends money on fluff.
The city was spending 5 minutes per month 2 watering 2 trees in front of my house.
Now they dont come at all.
Just find out who is making money off of this and then you will know why they are doing it.
Some councilmembers cousin or nephew started a new business probably.
save the $$$, just use it to plant more trees PLEASE
…. somebody in the city clan needed a job? … sigh
1, 2, 3 Pine, Oak, Elm. I would to have that job.
The earliest aerial pictures of those eucalyptus trees were taken in 1939. They were quite large then. Eucalyptus trees are not native trees, being imported from Australia in the mid-1800s. Their lifespan is right around a hundred years so those are way past due. They were imported and planted for quick growing firewood…a few little trivia bits this AM.
