This document is a Community Forest Management Plan for the Town of Riverdale Park, a municipality in Prince George’s County, Maryland, incorporated in 1920 (Planning Area 68, Councilmanic District 3). In December 2021, the Town applied to the Prince George’s County Planning Department via the Department’s Planning Assistance to Municipalities and Communities Program (PAMC) to fund a tree inventory and management plan. Funding for the project was approved by the Prince George’s County Planning Board on May 26, 2022. The kickoff was held in January 2023, and the project was completed in February 2025.
The purpose of the project was to assess the condition of trees in public rights-of-way within the municipal boundary and provide Town staff with the tools and data to make informed decisions about protecting, maintaining, and expanding the Town’s street tree inventory.
Tree inventory data were collected pursuant to the Maryland Roadway Tree Law by Maryland Licensed Tree Experts (LTE) or equal (International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborists). Data were entered into the Prince George’s County Department of Public Works and Transportation’s (DPW&T) PlanIt Geo TreePlotter™ software to generate graphic and spatial representations of existing conditions that revealed needs and opportunities. The findings of the tree inventory and condition assessment directly informed this plan, which includes a prioritized management program for future tree care.
