| WHY? BECAUSE trees |
 |
|
|
| HOW? |
- don't fill more than 12" under the tree dripline
- don't cut more than 6" under the tree dripline
- fence trees and show a tree protection fence on multiple sheets
- consider how utility alignments and other excavation might affect tree roots
- fransplant a large tree or sell it to be transplanted
|
| WHEN? Save trees that |
- an arborist report says are healthy
- are 10' or more outside a structures footprint
- have a caliper (i.e. diameter) of 6" or greater diameter at breast height
- are not invasive
|
| WHO? |
- Big Trees Today salvages and resells large trees
- an arborist will inspect the health & species of the existing trees to determine which ones should be saved
|
| WHERE? |
|
| DESIGN TOOLS |
- This is a placeholder since saving a tree doesn't really take calculations. Don't worry, other BMPs will have plenty of design tools.
