Staff demonstrates Tree Plotter inventory and public view features

Mar 10, 2026

City staff described the Tree Plotter account the city uses to host its tree inventory: public viewable fields are limited (species, DBH), while staff logins provide maintenance records, hazard flags, and analytics like shade cover and carbon sequestration estimates.

The full story

Staff told the board the city has a free Tree Plotter account provided through the Oregon Department of Forestry and that staff and the forester have editing logins while the public can view basic tree data. The staff speaker said the public view typically exposes species and some size data but that more detailed maintenance records and hazard flags are available only to logged-in staff accounts.
