 | Arboriculture Inventory is a set of multi-user/multi-site Microsoft Access database programs used to manage trees, shrubs, palms, hedges, and plants. Arboriculture Inventory is primarily a Street Tree Inventory and assists in the planning and maintenance of landscapes. | ||||
| The purpose of a Street Tree Inventory is to maintain a record of the location of trees/plants on right-of-ways and/or park lands for the responsible entities. Records will indicate; Location of trees by GPS coordinates and/or street address, Type Variety of Plants, Size/Height/Spread, Health Data, ISA Hazard Rating, History/Replacement Data, Project or Service Request Data, and Check up Reminder. Data. This provides a Computerized Tree-Management System, which is one of the qualifications for a Tree City USA Growth Award. | ||||
| This Computerized Tree-Management System provides a tool to assist in implementing Tree City Growth Awards items in two categories; Category C: Planning and Management and Category D: Tree Planting and Maintenance. | ||||
| A Plant Identification and Information database, containing basic information on over 4,300 tree/plant species is provided. Additional plant species information can be added or changed to meet your requirements and locale. This database consist of; USDA Codes, Scientific Name, Common Names, Growth & Dimensions, Environment, Identifying information, Usages, Cultivars, Maintenance, Problems, Notes, and spec sheet. | ||||
| Program cost is only $2,500 with discounts for non-profits and cities with less than a 1,000 permanent residences. | ||||

| Petrified Forest National Park contains the petrified
remains of 225 million year old trees from the Late Triassic. Surrounding
the petrified wood are millions of years of deposition, uplift, and
erosion, creating the Chinle Formation. This rock formation creates the
red hues of the Painted Desert and the blue tones of the
Blue Mesa region. Petrified Forest is situated near the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau with elevations ranging from 5300 feet to 6235 feet. It was the uplift of the Colorado Plateau, starting about 60 million years ago, and the erosion that followed and continues today, which carved the present landscape. Petrified Forest National Park stretches north and south between Interstate 40 and Highway 180. |

| Inner Space Cavern is located in Georgetown, Texas on the outskirts of the beautiful Texas Hill Country. The cave is convenient to IH-35 at exit 259 (Northbound or Southbound). Inner Space Cavern was discovered by a Texas Highway Department core drilling team in the Spring of 1963. While drilling through 40 feet of solid limestone, the bit broke into what is now known as Inner Space Cavern. An adventurous employee of the highway department was lowered into the hole while standing on the drill bit and holding tightly to the stem. He was the first human being to enter INNER SPACE. Hidden for 10,000 years, Inner Space Cavern is one of the best preserved caves in Texas and one of the few places where remains of prehistoric animals were unearthed. |
