In the course of preparing the Barton Springs Pool Master Plan, various trees were identified as needing an advanced and sophisticated assessment to make the most informed decisions regarding the plan of action for the trees. The assessment would be in addition to the Parks and Recreation Department’s highly qualified and experienced Urban Forestry Program’s assessment of the majority of the trees around Barton Springs Pool (BSP).
Through the City of Austin's bid process, a contract was signed with Davey Resource Group (DRG) to complete a thorough and comprehensive study of 46 trees around BSP. This included radar images of the tree trunks and larger branches to determine whether weak points exist within the trees, foliar analysis, soil analysis, and other analyses. The Parks and Recreation Department’s Urban Forestry Program staff have utilized the results to determine the best course of action regarding the trees assessed by DRG along with the numerous additional trees assessed by Forestry staff.
