Duration: 4 days, consecutive or divided over a year
Natural Path Urban Forestry has developed a comprehensive workshop on tree inventories and their use. Designed in three distinct modules, the workshops can be presented either as independent workshops or an integrated four-day series – presented consecutively or over a year. The modules cover three distinct phases of the tree inventory process. Participation at each module will be a function of where a community is in the inventory process. The three modules are Design, Implementation and Management.
Tree inventories are an important management tool for communities. They are used not only to track work being done on individual trees, but more importantly, they provide the foundation for establishing short and long-term maintenance and management goals. Unfortunately, most inventories, once completed, are either underused or ignored. This session strives to reinvigorate communities that have existing inventories or desire to implement one. The talk focuses on how data from an inventory can help establish, among other things, cyclic pruning programs, species diversity, and risk management programs. In addition to these programs, the inventory is a key element for gauging change over time – critical for evaluating a community’s overall program.
