EAC Tree Planting Standard
This standard outlines the critical procedures for site preparation, plant quality assessment, and post-planting care to ensure high survival rates in urban environments. It mandates specific technical requirements, such as the visibility of the root flare and the use of mulch rings, which are often overlooked in local mass-planting campaigns. By enforcing these protocols, the city can prevent the common cycle where saplings die from root suffocation or mechanical damage within their first year of establishment.
