As we began to
look at how an urban forester and emergency manager might collaborate we
wanted to show
|
|
exactly where the
two might have opportunities to interact in relation to the involvement of an
urban forester,
|
|
or like minded
professional, in the care of a communities urban forest. An urban forester is
likely to be involved
|
|
on the state level
and regional in a partnership and utilized more likely in the planning phases
of how to manage
|
|
and developing the
plan where as the Community level is more likely to be utilized with hands on
implementation
|
|
and overseeing the
plan. From a more general role to a more detailed role.

The Vegetative
Management Plan and the GIS model (UTRI – Urban Tree Risk Index),discussed in
this presentation,
|
|
utilizes the
concept of the general overall look at a region… A look at the overall Vegetation vs. the
more detailed
|
|
as utilized in a
community Tree risk management plan. The involvement of the urban forester or
like minded
|
|
professional will
be similar… from the general partnership/planning involvement to the more
hands on the more
|
|
detailed the plans
is … like the tree risk management plan.
