[CANUFNET] Tree Risk Management Program

[Alan Kemp]

Thank you Karen

We had our IT Department create an inventory program as well, using ArcGIS. My problem is that I'm looking to be able to create polygons of different areas of risk throughout the city. At this time our program doesn't do that. Can you do that with yours?

Hi Alan,

In Winnipeg we had our IT department create the tree inventory software we use.  It was created using Autodesk MapGuide as a base.  Our inventory can be viewed, queried, and displayed various ways as needed using Geomedia Pro GIS software.  It is great having custom software because it can be modified over time to suit your needs.

Hope that helps,

I'm working on a Tree Risk Management Program for the City of Nanaimo. We have an Urban Forest Management Strategy and have written a new Management and Protection of Trees Bylaw which was passed by Council a year ago last December. Next step is the Tree Risk Management Program.

I have reviewed some Tree Risk Management formats, but am wondering what mapping programs people are finding best suited for inventory purposes and secondly what kind of Policy statements are out there.
