[CANUFNET] Nailing Trees

[pwassenaer1022 at rogers.com]

Or…never use them and use GPS?GIS instead…

 

We stopped using tags quite a while ago now unless we are specifically asked to use them.

 

When we did tag we usually tried to use the arbotag system with aluminum nails and tags that do not grow into the trees…when it gets to the end of the nail, you pull the tag off and remount with a new nail.

Often projects will be ongoing for years. Tags can be left on until they are absorbed into the tree. If the tag and the records for the tag are always held, then the tag can be used for reference in other monitoring concerns. Use the tag for everything. Size, canopy cover, appraisals, whatever your imagination will drum up. Don't ignore tags just because the original project is completed. Start another project and use the number.

 

Warmest Regards,

Who pays the arborist to come back after the project is done to remove them? Public projects often go on for years.

Hello,

 

Just wondering, where and who teaches arborists that nailing tags into trees and not removing them is a "best management practice (see photo).
