Street Tree Inventory

What’s going on here? Portland Parks & Recreation is currently partnering with community groups in Alameda, Beaumont-Wilshire, Brentwood-Darlington, Creston-Kenilworth, Grant Park, Hillsdale, Hollywood, Humboldt, Rose City Park, and Wilkes to map and measure all street trees in those neighborhoods. Portland Parks & Recreation would eventually like to map and measure every street tree in its jurisdiction.

What qualifies as a street tree? Street trees are those trees located in the public right-of-way, typically between the curb and the sidewalk. For the purposes of this project, the city will also be measuring the trees located in the median strip.

What is the purpose of this project? The City of Portland has recognized a need to increase the number and diversity of trees on our city streets. These trees serve a range of benefits, including wildlife habitat, air quality improvement and storm water filtration. In addition, a substantial tree canopy over our city streets can help mitigate the summer-time heat index while beautifying our neighborhoods and increasing property values.

Counting and measuring street trees will provide invaluable information for our city’s urban planners by determining structure and composition of the overall “urban forest,” clarifying which areas of the city need more street trees.

This street tree inventory will help empower our community groups and neighborhood associations to make informed decisions regarding the management and stewardship of their urban forest. Following the inventory, each participating neighborhood will receive a thorough analysis and report for its street tree component, including tree distribution, species composition, potential stocking levels and net environmental benefits.

Can I get involved? Yes, we need your help! Volunteers are the driving force behind mapping the trees in Portland’s neighborhoods. For more information visit our website at: http://portlandoregon.gov/parks/treeinventory
