Planted Tree Re-Inventory Protocol

Planted Tree Re-inventory Protocol

The Bloomington Urban Forestry Research Group developed the Planted Tree Re-Inventory Protocol for use in several projects that involve measuring trees that have been planted by people in the urban landscape. The Protocol is designed for use by minimally trained data collectors—high school or college students, interns, volunteers, or anyone else interested in being a ‘citizen scientist.’
