In this Louisville Metro Government article, Josh Behounek, business manager from Davey Resource Group, talks about why urban forests are vital for communities and how this new tree project will benefit Louisville.
In a continued effort to strategically and efficiently care for Louisville’s tree canopy, Mayor Greenberg has announced a partnership with Louisville Parks and Recreation’s Urban Forestry team and Davey Resource Group. The partnership will conduct a comprehensive survey of trees located in public rights-of-way city parks.
"This tree inventory project is a big leap forward in caring for our trees and growing Louisville’s tree canopy. By understanding where they are and what they need, we’re not just preserving our canopy, we’re creating a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come. I'm incredibly proud to see our city take this step toward growing a stronger urban forest,” said Mayor Craig Greenberg.
Louisville residents may notice vehicles marked with the Davey Resource Group logo equipped with cameras driving through their neighborhoods. These vehicles are solely collecting data on trees located in public spaces.
