DCH can provide a wealth of information on tree care, including general care and maintenance guides, advice on hiring a professional arborist, the many benefits of urban trees, and tree identification and species information. In 2002, DCH completed an inventory of Wilmington’s street trees, which includes public access to view or search the database. DCH also utilizes a GIS layer of the tree inventory to plan future projects and track street tree work across the city. Contact Patrice Sheehan, Tree Program Manager, at (302) 658-6262 ext. 112 for more information.
