<p class="MsoNormal">The City of Regina uses the ArcGIS platform for its tree inventory. We ‘ve been using this platform for about 3 ½ years now. Within that platform we use the ESRI’s Collector app on iPad technology right at the crew level for our data
collection. It was an in house solution created with some help from our IT staff and was relatively inexpensive as our city uses the ArcGIS platform corporately.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tree Crews record daily work on each tree right onsite. They can see previous work that has been completed to the tree as well as take and access photos for record keeping purposes. (Right now it is only set up to track for up to 3 work
cycles). From a work management point of view we can also follow what has been done at an individual tree level or track by work type at a macroscopic level. All practically live time. When the crew submits I can see it at my work station almost instantaneously
if I wish. Ex storm damage, scheduled pruning, service call pruning all by type of crew. Illustratively I did do this this past October 18 and tracked our storm damage work progress every couple of hours or so. From that I could compare locations
and work done to the call coming in from residents. It was the first time we did this and was neat to watch. It made me feel rather comfortable that we were responding well.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently of our 176,00 trees that we think we have – we have approximately 76,000 street tree pieces inventoried. We also track vacancies on our street trees and have found that overall we seem to be about 71% stocked. We also have but
in a high level calculator working in the back ground so we can get some initial analytics of the value of our urban forest as an asset (individual tree and forest as a whole. Point is that ESRI can do this for you its just how you think at approaching it
and query what you want to do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For 2018 – we will start to approach of inputting our capital “P” park trees. This will help us gain a more comprehensive view of the urban forest beyond street trees.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Hello fellow CUFN listserv subscribers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The City of Courtenay (on Vancouver Island, British Columbia) Parks Division has recently begun to devote more resources to the management of trees in our city. This has included
the creation of a City Arborist position a couple of years ago, and more recently we have undertaken a street tree inventory (+/- 2,000 specimens). As you might observe, our urban forestry program is in its infancy. The inventory of our street trees has
constituted a giant leap forward for our program. We can now view our trees and their attributes using ArcGis mapping software. However, tree attributes are not easily updated, we cannot easily produce reports reflecting the condition or composition of
our trees, nor can we easily produce work orders from the inventory data. Furthermore, we would also like a flexible suite of software options to assist in our management and care of the mature forest interface throughout our municipality. We are currently
researching options for map based tree inventory software that also has an integrated work management system. So far I have looked into TreePlotter and ArborPro and both seem to meet most if not all of our needs. Any information on your municipal experiences
with these or other software would be much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
