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.
