To ensure their proper care, maintenance and preservation, it\u2019s essential to know where each tree is and the value it provides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, the city of Kenmore, Washington, set out to do just that: create an inventory of every tree in the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis work is important as it\u2019s one piece of the puzzle of ensuring we are prioritizing our tree canopy, which combats the urban heat island effect,\u201d said Nina Rasmussen, Climate Action Plan program manager. \u201cWith hotter summers becoming more frequent, protecting and growing our tree canopy ensures a better quality of life for our residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd ultimately, it helps us protect our natural habitat and the biodiversity within it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This summer, recent University of Washington Bothell graduates Dan Nguyen and Oliver Souliere interned with the city to aid in the completion of the inventory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nguyen and Souliere both graduated in June 2026 but have continued to serve as interns in UW Bothell\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/\">Collaborative for Socio-Ecological Engagement<\/a>, a University-led research and learning unit that hosts interdisciplinary, equity-centered, place-based research and learning programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

began working on the tree inventory project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city had catalogued about 15,000 trees since the project began in 2024, and much of that work was completed by interns. Nguyen and Souliere\u2019s roles were to take the project across the finish line, plugging in data gaps for another 3,000 trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoth of us want to work in geographic information systems and mapping natural resources, just like this project,\u201d said Souliere, who graduated with a degree in Data Visualization and minors in Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering and in Data Analytics. \u201cThis internship is super involved in the technologies required to go out and do this stuff in the real world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI like the experience of getting to expand my GIS toolkit and networking with people who are doing the work that I want to be doing two years from now,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what excites me about this work.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p> &#8220;I like the experience of getting to expand my GIS toolkit and networking with people who are doing the work that I want to be doing two years from now.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Oliver Souliere, Data Visualizion \u201926 <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nguyen\u2019s passion for GIS wasn\u2019t something he discovered until his senior year after he developed an interest in salmon conservation.

Then, they took to the streets to fill in the gaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/uwb-cosee-gis-blog001-standard-1920x1280-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A person on a tablet in a wooded area.\" class=\"wp-image-34420\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/uwb-cosee-gis-blog001-standard-1920x1280-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/uwb-cosee-gis-blog001-standard-1920x1280-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/uwb-cosee-gis-blog001-standard-1920x1280-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/uwb-cosee-gis-blog001-standard-1920x1280-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/uwb-cosee-gis-blog001-standard-1920x1280-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/uwb-cosee-gis-blog001-standard-1920x1280-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/uwb-cosee-gis-blog001-standard-1920x1280-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rasmussen noted that the project is part of Kenmore\u2019s ongoing climate and environmental work. The completed inventory will aid in plans for maintenance, as well as identifying trees of significance, she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While mitigating the urban heat island effect is the driving force behind the project, \u201csignificant\u201d also refers to the heritage aspect of the trees, Nguyen said. \u201cPreserving old growth and being able to see those trees over generations, I would say they\u2019re also there to support the community in the sense that it serves almost like a landmark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose trees have been in the community\u2019s life for so many years,\u201d he said, \u201cthat if they were taken down, that would be a part of history \u2014 a part of the city itself \u2014 that would be lost and could have otherwise been planned around to avoid that loss.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interns used ArcGIS software and field maps to find the clusters of trees that were missing data. Their field work led them from tree-lined neighborhoods and public streets to clusters of trees in parks and other areas untouched by development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInstead of thinking about the trees we see on the side of the road as a collective, this project has given me the opportunity to see them individually,\u201d Nguyen said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The forest for the trees<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nguyen and Souliere both want to become GIS specialists and are continuing to seek out opportunities to gain more exposure to the field.
