2022 Downtown Tree Inventory

Chattanooga is kicking off a six-week survey of all downtown trees to better assist the city in maintaining the community’s character and beauty. 

ArborPro, a contractor for the Urban Forestry Program within the Department of Public Works, will canvas downtown Chattanooga to gather information relating to the location, size, and condition of City-owned trees. 

This inventory update, which will be leveraged to set maintenance and beautification schedules, has been 100% funded by the Lyndhurst Foundation. 

The ArborPro inventory technicians will have proper personal protective equipment (PPE); they will wear reflective safety gear, and will carry a tablet. They will have accompanying documentation identifying them as working on behalf of the City. 

The Chattanooga Department of Public Works delivers a variety of services that Chattanooga's citizens rely on daily. Responsibilities include the design, construction, and maintenance of the City's infrastructure; the interceptor sewer system; the City's stormwater system; the collection and disposal of garbage, brush, recycling, and household hazardous waste; Chattanooga Division of Transportation (CDOT); and The Land Development Office (LDO).
