Oregon Tree Catalog: A Virtual Educational Resource
The Oregon Tree Catalog is a collaborative initiative designed to create an online, virtual, multimedia catalog of trees throughout Oregon. This project aims to serve as a public resource and educational tool to assist urban forestry professionals, city planners, educators, and private property owners in making informed decisions about tree selection, planting, and maintenance.
Made possible by...
A subgrant from the Oregon Department of Forestry from grant funds they received from the USDA Forest Service for a project known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law State Forest Action Plan Implementation. The grants are awarded for the implementation of a project to create a publicly accessible, web-based database and inventory system for resilient, “climate smart” trees in Oregon.
