Communication is the number one challenge in shade tree management, and this one-day class provides new tools and strategies to communicate more clearly with your most important constituents. To communicate more effectively with tree care contractors, builders and engineers, you’ll leave with detailed specifications to ensure a higher level of efficiency and accountability. To communicate more effectively with residents, elected officials and the media, you will learn new visual tools to create and manage shade tree inventories with GIS (Geographical Information Systems).
You will also review and receive a municipal shade tree ordinance database that is provided to all course participants. In addition, you will learn new technical skills that include: tree selection based on site conditions, size requirements and quality standards; pruning using the new ANSI guidelines; removal; cost and timing strategies; and Plant Health Care featuring safe and effective cultural practices that may add years to your existing urban forest.
This course is recommended for municipal staff and administrators responsible for shade tree operations, shade tree commission and advisory board members, tree and landscape contractors and township engineers.
