Tree Planting Program

data.norfolk.gov | Last Updated 18 May 2021

Recreation, Parks and Open Space’s Bureau of Parks and Urban Forestry plants hundreds of trees each year along city streets, within city parks, and on other city properties. This dataset gives pertinent tree species information, shows important geographic information about which parts of Norfolk are receiving trees in a given year, and historical data about planting date. City staff utilizes Microsoft excel to track tree planting information. This dataset will show where the City of Norfolk plants its trees on city owned properties. This data is updated annually.
