Urban Forestry & Arboriculture
Urban Forestry Planning & Management
Facet understands the complexity of caring for community trees in our towns and cities and the diverse needs of public and private landowners. Our team is experienced in supporting municipalities with all aspects of urban forest management and street tree management planning. We begin with spatially mapped tree inventories and landscape-scale canopy assessments that provide land managers with the data they need to make informed management decisions. Our team of environmental planners also works with regional cities to assess and revise tree regulations and develop urban forest management plans that provide communities with a guiding, long-term framework for maintaining and improving urban forest health.

Arboriculture Consulting & Permitting
Our arborists are experts at managing trees in the built environment. We consult regularly with public and private clients on tree health and hazard safety assessments, appraisals, protection, and tree retention plans for residential, commercial, and municipal construction projects. We also have experience providing pruning and specimen tree transplanting recommendations. Our multi-disciplinary arborists and landscape designers are skilled at creating planting plans that highlight both the beauty and aesthetics of trees and provide for optimum tree health and vitality.
