    Russell,

    Yes.  We are estimating how many additional trees should / could be planted to achieve varying levels of environmental benefits.  We are using i-Tree to do these calculations.  Unfortunately, the amount of existing data is minimal so our number will be rough, but a start.

    Andrew,

    Well, yes and no.  The entire city was surveyed a few years ago and all the data was entered into a database.  Since then a lot has changed and maintenance of the database has been inconsistent.  So we have some data but know it is not exact – but better than nothing.

    Land Planner,

    Yes, indeed you’ve been very helpful.  The San Diego website is amazing.  That’s what we need – every city needs.  Thank you for taking the time to send links to all these site/people/ideas.  All is very much appreciated.

    Chris: Glad to help and I hope you found this information and the leads that go with it, beneficial to PGA’s efforts in West Oakland. BTW, I grew up in the East Bay, for what that is worth.
