Edmonton Boulevard and Open Space Tree Inventory

A map of boulevard and open space trees owned and maintained by the City of Edmonton, though it does not include all city-owned trees. The dataset includes attributes like PLANTED_DATE, CONDITION_PERCENT, DIAMETER_BREAST_HEIGHT, SPECIES, and NEIGHBOURHOOD_NAME. It was last updated by data.edmonton.ca in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing tree health and condition trends over time using CONDITION_PERCENT and PLANTED_DATE.
• Mapping species diversity and distribution across neighborhoods using SPECIES, GENUS, and NEIGHBOURHOOD_NAME.
• Estimating tree biomass or carbon storage based on DIAMETER_BREAST_HEIGHT measurements.
• Identifying potential public food sources by filtering trees with Bears Edible Fruit and Type of Edible Fruit attributes.
• Prioritizing maintenance or planting programs by correlating tree CONDITION_PERCENT with LOCATION_TYPE and OWNER fields.

Strengths

• Contains detailed per-tree attributes including species, condition, diameter, and planting date.
• Integrates geospatial location data (Point Location, LATITUDE) with administrative boundaries (Wards, Neighbourhood Boundaries).

Limitations

• The dataset explicitly states it does not capture all City-owned trees, indicating incomplete coverage.
• Sample data and total row count are unavailable, preventing assessment of dataset size and representativeness.
