[CANUFNET] Tree Risk Management Program

[Cathy MacKenzie]

We are using the ESRI app for ArcMap.  It is a free downloadable app and works with our existing Esri license.  Assessors and tree crews can collect gps locations for trees, complete the assessment data and update data when issues are taken care of, all on their smart phones or tablets.  It produces an automatic update to our inventory data.  Best of all, since the App is part of a license we already have, we didn't have to purchase any new software and all data is available immediately to use in ArcMap.

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.
