Montreal Public Tree Felling Records from 1989-1991

Records document the felling of street and park trees belonging to the City of Montreal municipality. The data originates from the first period of massive inventory between 1989 and 1991. It is sourced from Montreal's centralized system, though some boroughs are not included.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of tree felling across Montreal's streets and parks using location data.
• Study municipal tree management trends starting from the 1989-1991 inventory period.
• Identify borough-level coverage gaps by comparing centralized system records against local data.

Strengths

• Data provides a historical baseline from the first major inventory period of 1989-1991.
• Covers two distinct categories of municipal assets: street trees and off-street trees in parks and squares.

Limitations

• The provider notes spatial location data for trees may be inaccurate.
• Dataset is incomplete as it only includes felling recorded in the central system, omitting some boroughs.
• Temporal coverage is limited to records from a specific historical period, with no indication of ongoing updates.
