~ Boston, MA - The Parks and Recreation Department and Urban Forestry Division have reached a significant milestone in their efforts to improve public access to urban tree data. With the completion of the street tree inventory in 2021 and ongoing efforts to inventory trees in parks, both datasets are now available for download through Analyze Boston, the City of Boston's Open Data Hub.
This integration into Analyze Boston consolidates valuable urban forestry information alongside other city datasets, making it easier for researchers and analysts to access and utilize this data. The inventories will also continue to be accessible in an interactive format through an external link on the City's Urban Forest page.
The street tree and public tree inventories provide crucial details on species, size, location, and ecological benefits of trees. This information is essential for urban forestry planning and management. The inventory is updated daily to reflect the ongoing work of Urban Forestry Division staff who are responsible for planting, pruning, and removing trees citywide as part of a comprehensive tree care plan. This real-time snapshot offers insight into the composition of Boston's urban forest.
