Affordable Housing Apartment Project Arborist Report

FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS) provided arboriculture services for an affordable housing apartment project to support the construction of a residential development located in the Town of Windsor, Sonoma County, California. The project aimed to construct 106 affordable multi-family units across two 4-story buildings, along with various amenities such as a recreation room, fitness center, and pet park. FCS was tasked with conducting a comprehensive tree assessment and subsequent arborist report to identify and evaluate trees within the project site and off-site improvement areas. The assessment was performed by Hannah Carney, an ISA Certified Arborist, and included a detailed visual inspection of each tree, identification of tree species, measurement of trunk diameters, and general evaluation of tree health and structural integrity.

The arborist report includes survey methodology, identification of tree species recorded on-site, tree locations, the Town’s protection determination, descriptions of tree conditions or other observations, and potential impacts. To minimize impacts, the arborist report provided recommendations for tree protection measures during construction and maintenance guidelines for preserved trees. The project highlights FCS's expertise in arboriculture services, environmental management, and regulatory compliance, ensuring the successful integration of development with the preservation of natural resources.
