The City Environment and Natural Resources Office, through its Forest Management Services Division, conducted an i-Tree Eco Assessment at Macarascas Elementary School, Macarascas National High School, Bahile Elementary School, Bahile National High School, and Salvacion Central Elementary School on October 2, 2025 as a part of the Cityโs Urban Forestry Program. A total of 188 trees were inventoried. The assessment aims to promote the presence of trees in urban areas, for air quality improvement, noise reduction, and temperature mitigation.
i-Tree was designed and developed by the USDA Forest Service in collaboration with its partners, aiming to provide both urban and rural forestry analysis, such as the local ecosystem services and benefits provided by the tree. The assessment involved tree inventory and measuring of key parameters, including diameter at breast height (dbh), total tree height, crown base height, canopy size, crown light exposure, and more.
