Case Study

Tree Inventory Report for 2940 Alum Rock Avenue Project, City of San José

FCS prepared a Tree Inventory Report for a proposed affordable housing project site in the City of San José, California. The report was based on a field survey conducted across the 3.4-acre project site and an Off-site Improvement Area. Trees were evaluated using standard arborist assessment procedures and ground-level inspections, which included a thorough visual examination of each tree and its surrounding environment.

As an extension of FCS’s Biological Resources Management services, our experienced ISA-certified arborists help you navigate tree assessment, inventory, protection and management plans, project due diligence, and more.

We provide expertise in the field to survey tree inventories, determine overall tree health, diagnosis, tree selection, construction monitoring, and more, all while coordinating with CEQA, NEPA, and other local, state, and federal guidelines.

We understand the various challenges that our clients often face. As a result, we provide our clients with environmental compliance services that extend into all areas of project needs and developments. These efforts are made possible by our experienced ISA certified staff who offer expertise conducting field work to survey tree inventories, determine overall tree health, diagnosis, tree selection and structural integrity, construction monitoring, diagnosis, and more.
