The Community and Urban Forest Inventory and Management Program

Technology Transfer Publication

The Community and Urban Forest Inventory and Management program (CUFIM) is one more step in answer to the call for improved management and sustainability of California’s urban forests.

The purpose of this study is to help communities manage their urban forests specifically in relation to the potential use of woody biomass rather than the more traditional and costly practice of disposal.

This report presents an Excel-based computer program that can be used to setup and maintain a tree inventory and database, and to evaluate the urban forest in quantative terms including volume and value. It is the hope of the authors that this effort will help urban communities take the next step toward sustainability of the urban forest resource.
