Tree Inventory Icon

In spring 2025, the Town of Firestone partnered with Davey Resource Group, Inc. to complete a comprehensive tree inventory. This project, led by the Town Forester, provides valuable data on the location, species, and condition of trees on Town-owned property. The inventory will help guide future tree care, planning, and planting efforts.
