Data Collection <br />Conducting the Segment Sampling <br />Start and end points <br />Each group will have a "master list" of segments to survey. Segments are denoted by starting and ending <br />addresses. To begin surveying, travel to the starting point of a listed segment and proceed to survey each <br />public tree from the starting address to the ending address. When all trees between the start and endpoints <br />of a given segment are surveyed and recorded, the data sheet for that segment should be returned to Chris <br />Anderson at Ramsey Municipal Center. <br />Public trees <br />This tree survey will include only street or boulevard trees. These trees are public trees are often situated <br />near the road, but may be located up to 16' from the street.
