Inventory Update and Management Plan <br />Project Completion: 2022 <br />Project Owner: City of Superior, WI <br />Reference: Linda Cadotte, Director <br />of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry <br />Department <br />cadottel@ci.superior.wi.us <br />The City of Superior hired Davey Resource Group (DRG) to complete a <br />tree inventory update and management plan for future program growth. <br />The project is a GIS-based inventory update of maintained trees found <br />along public rights-of-way (ROW) and in pubic parks and properties. The <br />City of Superior had an existing inventory and is a TreeKeeper® user. <br />Since the City was already using TreeKeeper®, it presented some <br />challenges when trying to combine with their existing data fields with new <br />data. The TreeKeeper® team at DRG successfully solved these hiccups to <br />deliver a full update of inventory data in TreeKeeper® format, consisting <br />of 26,488 trees and recorded specific information about each site in the <br />inventory database. The updated data points included information on <br />tree species, address, condition, DBH, hardscape damage, overhead <br />utilities, primary defects, maintenance suggestions, and risk assessments <br />of each site. <br />Snow, ice, and cold presented a challenge for this inventory in early 2022. <br />DRG staff worked hard to complete the project within the timeline, <br />however due to this weather and DRG’s dedication to safety, the project <br />schedule exceeded the planned timeline. <br />SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN <br />Inventory Site <br />Inventory Site <br />Inventory Site
