[CANUFNET] Tree Inventory Software

Mon Jan 22 11:34:49 EST 2018

Hello Shane,

I have had good experiences with the Tree Plotter software that has been developed by Ian Hanou et al. at Plan-It Geo: 

www.TreePlotter.com

This is very robust urban forest inventory and management software with many different modules for various tasks you might want from an updated inventory approach.

Hope this helps,

Hello fellow CUFN listserv subscribers,

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.

Thanks kindly,

Shane Tillapaugh
