CITYgreen - Tree Inventory Collection Sheet

The document is a tree inventory data sheet used to record information about individual trees such as species, diameter, height, health, and growing conditions. For each tree, the data sheet collects the tree ID, species, diameter at breast height, height, understory type, and uses point scales to determine a health class rating from 1-5 and growing condition class from 1-3 based on factors like trunk damage, crown dieback, available space, and ground cover problems. Condition is determined by completing worksheets evaluating potential problems and calculating a total point score.

Tree Inventory Data Sheet

Student Name:________________ Study Site:_______________


Group Name:_______________ Verification:______________
Date:____________

Tree ID#

Species:

Understory (Circle one) - Impervious (including all paved and unpaved surfaces (concrete, asphalt, bare soil, and
compacted gravel), Grass (including grass groundcover), or Forest Litter (leaves, twigs, flower, fruit and other natural
tree droppings)

Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) inches

Circumference (in)_______ / Pi 3.14 = inches in diameter

Height

Using the clinometer locate the top of the object through the sight. Keep the level bubble centered. This creates a 45
degree angle from the tree. Measure the distance from you to the base of the tree = (D). Measure your height to eye level
= (H). Height of Tree = D + H. Height Class
1 = <25 feet
D(ft)_____ + H(ft)_____ = ______ feet Height Class = 2 = 25-45 feet
3 = >45 feet

Health

Evaluate overall tree health by inspecting the tree’s crown, trunk, and roots. Look for exposed roots, missing bark, decay,
or unbalanced foliage as signs of an unhealthy tree. Select a rating below after completing the worksheet on the other side
of the paper.

5 = Excellent
4 = Good
3 = Fair
2 = Poor
1 = Dead

Condition

Make a determination of growing condition based upon your knowledge of the site characteristics and the individual tree’s
growth preferences (if known). Select a rating below after completing the worksheet on the other side of the paper.
3 = Good
2 = Fair
1 = Poor
Health Class Worksheet
To evaluate the condition of the tree, look at it carefully. Be sure to walk all the way around the tree and observe it from a distance
when looking at the canopy. Place a check mark in the appropriate column for each potential problem area. When you have finished,
complete the bottom portion of the data table to determine an overall point total for the tree. Based on scale at the bottom of the
table, circle the health class rating here and on the front of the data sheet.
