Tree Inventory

 Developers need tree inventory reports when planning new construction or redevelopment projects to provide detailed information about existing trees on a site. These reports, which include data on tree species, size, health, and location, are crucial for complying with local regulations. 

For example, in Portland, Oregon, a tree inventory is required for development permit applications to comply with the city's Tree Code【Portland Tree Code, Section 11.50.060】. 

Similarly, in Toronto, Canada, developers must submit a tree inventory and preservation plan for site plan approval【Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 813】. Such reports help developers make informed decisions, adhere to regulations, and minimize environmental impacts.

 Enlisting a third-party arborist to review and monitor tree care Requests for Proposals (RFPs) is a strategic move that ensures the highest standards of care and compliance. An independent arborist brings an unbiased perspective, free from any affiliations with tree care contractors, thus providing objective evaluations and recommendations. 

Third-party oversight can prevent costly mistakes and ensure that the selected tree care services meet industry best practices and local regulations. Moreover, having a certified arborist involved in the process enhances the credibility of the project, potentially leading to better outcomes in terms of tree health, property aesthetics, and overall environmental impact. 

This level of due diligence not only safeguards the developer's investment but also demonstrates a commitment to sustainable and responsible land management practices.
