Give every tree the same reference across the work records
Forest Acres’ application resource asks for a tree-location map and recommends ribbon or tape to avoid confusion. It describes an inspector assessment; a marker by itself is not a removal decision.
Use a separate reference for each tree in the proposed work and each nearby tree intended to remain. Connect the reference to the sketch and quote. A description such as the large tree at the back can be ambiguous when the contractor and owner approach the site from different directions.
Resolve a mismatched tree before agreeing the scope
If a quote uses a different reference, identify that item as unresolved. Ask the provider to show which actual tree it means and ask City staff about an unclear application reference. Preserve the agreed identity across the corrected records.
Do not resolve an identity problem by assuming a tree is unhealthy, on your land or approved for removal. The record should explain which tree is under discussion while leaving those separate assessment questions to the relevant people.
Questions about this project
What if the tree named in a quote does not match the application sketch?
Keep that quote item unresolved. Reconcile its reference with the sketch and the actual tree before agreeing which work is intended, and clarify an application ambiguity with City staff.
Does ribbon on a Forest Acres tree show that removal has been approved?
No. The City recommends a marker to help identify trees and separately describes inspection. Ribbon does not establish a removal approval.

Source tables: Housing totals · Tenure · Building types · Year built · Median year built. Survey estimates and their margins of error are shown as published; these are not October 2026 counts. The separate population reference uses Census Vintage 2025.
For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
