School Arboricultural Management Plans
Cost Affective Tree Management for Duty of Care Compliance
To manage a tree asset, you must first understand what that asset is. Utilising GPS and GIS mapping, we are able to develop a Management Plan to meet the school’s needs. The data capture will focus on areas that have larger trees and higher occupancy rates as a priority. The plan will document all arboricultural assets in the agreed assessment area providing a risk assessment.
Why Implement a Strategy
The management package allows the school to understand the risks that their trees pose and program budgets to manage risks and remedial works. This removes the ad-hoc delivery of service resulting in increased cost efficiencies.
The plan provides a single point of truth for the tree assets that can be used to document the total assets. The system allows schools to easily review historical data on trees.
The system is designed to meet the needs of the school managers through smart, cost-effective and auditable functions.
