<p>In Saanich, the parks staff managed to get the engineering
section on side and any planned infrastructure upgrades that may
affect a public or private tree come up for review by external
consulting arborists. It works quite well. I get a set of plans
with the upgrade designs. I visit the area and compare planned
works to site conditions, write up a report with recommended
actions for each tree conflict, and in some cases, I am on site to
supervise the work as it takes place. Most of the worker bees in
design and on site from the engineering section, are now well
aware of tree issues and are very open to comments and help to
work around the trees. That being said, this is not something
that I commonly see in other areas, so Saanich may be ahead of the
game here. Now if I could get urban planners on side as
well................. <br>
