TREE PLANTING DETAILS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Free, Open Source Details and Specifications Now Available
James Urban, Dr. Ed Gilman of the University of Florida, and Brian Kempf and Tyson Carroll of the Urban Tree Foundation, have developed a modern, up-to-date and peer reviewed set of details and specifications in AutoCAD and PDF formats for the green industry. These are designed specifically for landscape architects, engineers, architects, contractors, urban foresters, arborists, municipalities and state agencies.
All are open source, free and can be edited by the user. You and your colleagues are free to use them in projects without charge and without credit to the Urban Tree Foundation or any of the project team members. Although you are encouraged to modify these details and specifications to fit your specific site and project needs, make your changes only after carefully considering all the pertinent variables at the planting site.
Funding for this project was provided by the California Department of Forestry Urban Forestry Program.
