DAVEY RESOURCE GROUP 39 <br />Shoreview, MN <br />The City of Shoreview contracted DRG to complete <br />an inventory of street and park trees in 2019. We <br />completed the inventory in December of 2019, and <br />established the inventory data in the city’s TreeKeeper <br />database. The client utilizes the inventory data for daily <br />management of their urban forest. <br />The need for this inventory was the culmination <br />of multiple separate efforts. First, in 2011, the City <br />discovered Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in one of their <br />parks and started to inventory their park trees on a <br />rolling basis with summer interns. Second, in 2019, the <br />city decided that they needed a complete inventory of <br />their boulevard and park trees. <br />The city desired to combine these inventories, but they <br />did not have a software that could successfully combine <br />the inventory data as well as general maintenance logs <br />for city-owned trees, such as EAB-related work such as <br />tree removals and ash injections. We proposed using <br />Davey’s TreeKeeper Inventory software to store and <br />access the inventory data and to help them manage <br />the trees. The city’s Parks and Natural Resources <br />departments hope to both use it to manage their tree <br />resource. <br />Street and Park Tree Inventory <br />Project Details: <br />Project Completion: 2020 <br />Project Owner: Shoreview, Minnesota <br />Reference: Ellen Brenna, Natural Resources Coordinator <br />651-490-4665, ebrenna@shoreviewmn.gov <br />Following the inventory, we also supplied the client with <br />a summary report that they could share with the city <br />council that quantified economic and environmental <br />benefits of the trees in their city.
