4. Ash Tree Inventory and Assessment Types Complete Sample Quick survey of just ash

5. Types Ash Tree Inventory and Assessment Stratified random sampling: grid streets, curved streets, and downtown Maximum 2,300 trees to sample Estimated 120 person-hours in the field

6. Assessment Determine the condition and the potential nuisance of a tree Ash Tree Inventory and Assessment Can be used to determine pre- emptive removal of: Targeted trees Near walkways Near play areas Competing with other desirable trees Future construction planning Risk Trees
