Tree Asset survey

Cheshire West and Chester Council is looking to appoint a company who can demonstrate appropriate experience, knowledge, ability and value for money to carry out arboriculture survey work upon trees within the Council's jurisdiction or responsibility. The primary focus of the contract will be the identification and condition survey of trees located on all Local Authority highways and public open space and, where required, other Council properties and locations as identified by the Council's Authorised Officer. Cheshire West and Chester Council owns over 500 hectares (ha) of woodland and approximately 28,000 individual trees (based on a previous tree survey). Using the Green Infrastructure Valuation Toolkit, the economic value of the woodland and trees owned by the council is over £7bn - a significant asset for the borough.
