Tree Inventory and Management

Tree Inventory Management

Since April 2011, Bartlett Tree experts have been hired by Providence College to conduct in-depth inventory of the trees and to check on health of each tree.

In April 2015, Providence College again hired Bartlett Tree Experts to create an in-depth inventory, status, and management plan for the approximately 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. 

The plan was once again updated in 2022. Any recommendations from the arborists will start summer of 2022.
