Project Overview
In 2011, Providence College hired Bartlett Tree Experts to create an in-depth inventory, status, and management plan for the over 2000 trees on the campus. As part of the inventory process, the team of arborists conducted a visual inspection of each tree from the ground to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of each tree for condition and risk of failure. The goal was to evaluate the impact of wood decay in stems and buttress roots that show potential for failure and to determine presence and condition of the root system. As part of the management plan, various trees on the campus were identified and for remediation, maintenance, or removal.
