Tree Strategies & Policies

Tree Strategies & Policies

We often consider the inspection of trees and remediating those with defects but fail to document our overall plan to manage our trees or the principles which guide us.

Tree Strategies and Policies provide a consistent approach which is documented and, if followed, defendable if we have to justify our decisions.

Tree Strategies provide an overarching plan to achieve your goals.

They often include an overall vision, objectives and action points, An action plan, and consider issues such as climate change, sustainability, replanting, and future-proofing tree stocks against pests and diseases.

Tree policies will establish the guiding rules and principles for your decision-making when it comes to tree management.

Tree Policies will usually include a clear purpose, the scope of the policy and which trees it covers, responsibilities for inspection/remediation, how and when its reviewed and emergency tree works and how they are dealt with.
