Tree Inventory

ArbNetMt. Greenwood Cemetery was established in 1879 by surveyor and educator George Waite. The 80-acre cemetery was thoughtfully named “Mt. Greenwood” due to the prominent presence of large oak and hickory trees along an elevated ridge. Nearly 150 years later, Waite’s vision of a serene and beautiful final resting place continues to flourish. Today, Mt. Greenwood Cemetery is home to over 900 documented trees representing 64 different tree species. Remarkably, 76% of these trees have a diameter at breast height (DBH) greater than 20 inches, a testament to their maturity and the thoughtful care of the cemetery grounds. Our team is dedicated to maintaining, preserving, and increasing the diversity of the trees for the overall benefit of our community.
