Surveying urban woodland

With regards to surveying an 'urban forest ' ( if that term still in fashion) with a network of paths- impractical and not necessary to plot all the trees, would it be good practice to plot all the bigger trees ( eg.45cm plus diameter) and record data, OR just trees where significant features are found that could potentially be an issue? The woodland is not dense, and about 10 acres. Thanks

If for tree safety just walk through initially and record trees of concern within striking distance of footpaths and other areas used by public as well as nearby roads and important structures with plastic/metal tag and/or identify on a plan of area, if further investigation of some sort is thought to be required for a particular tree just note it on survey form. Where there is a clearly identifiable group of trees of concern, such as say several ash dieback trees, you might just tag one of the trees, state number and record on plan.
