Calgary Public Tree Inventory with Species and Condition Data

Over 25 columns detail Calgary's urban forest on public land, including tree species, size, condition, and location. The dataset is maintained by data.calgary.ca and was last updated in April 2026. It provides information for urban forest management and public asset tracking.

Use Cases

• Analyze tree species distribution (COMMON_NAME, GENUS, SPECIES) across Calgary Communities to inform planting strategies.
• Model TREE_CONDITION_RATING_PERC against DBH_CM and MATURE_SIZE to predict maintenance needs.
• Map tree locations (POINT) with APPRAISED_VALUE and HERITAGE_TREES flags for asset valuation and preservation planning.
• Study the relationship between SITE_ELEMENT_TYPE_DESCRIPTION and TREE_MAINTENANCE records to optimize upkeep schedules.

Strengths

• Contains over 25 detailed columns per tree record, including taxonomic, physical, and managerial attributes.
• Includes precise geospatial location data via the POINT column for mapping analysis.
• Provides temporal data points through ACTIVE_DT and MODIFIED_DT columns for change tracking.
