Exeter Public Tree Inventory

Introducing Our Street and Park Tree Dashboard

Public trees are an indispensable component to the character of our community.  Trees also provide significant environmental benefits.  They provide food and habitat for birds and other wildlife, support pollinating insects, slow urban runoff during rain storms, clean the air of pollutants, cool the air and offer shade, and so so much more!    

Ensuring we have a healthy, diverse, and actively managed tree canopy along our streets requires an up to date inventory of the trees within the Town's roadway right-of-way.  The Town partnered with Rockingham Planning Commission to develop a user-friendly tool to inventory our existing trees, track ongoing maintenance needs, and identify areas suitable for additional tree plantings.   

Unlike traditional tree inventories, this is an interactive database that allows the Town to efficiently plan for tree maintenance and update conditions as work progresses.  It also allows us to track new plantings and identify potential future planting sites. 

You Can Participate Too! 

If you see a location along the town's streets that you think could benefit from tree planting, the instructions below will help you add it to our inventory as an empty planting site.  You could also contact our Conservation and Sustainability Planner directly for assistance:  Kristen Murphy, kmurphy@exeternh.gov or 603-418-6452.
