Join us for a UCFS Learning Series!
Urban foresters across the United States and Canada face an ever-growing workload and demand for critical tree maintenance services involving the removal of pruning, removals, and stumping. This increase is driven by greater public awareness, extreme weather, climate change, invasive species, development pressures, and growing or aging urban forests. These challenges highlight the critical need for operational excellence in urban forest management, especially given the constraints of finite resources and competing priorities.
The City of Mississauga, Canada’s seventh-largest city, has risen to this challenge with notable success. Within just six months, Mississauga cleared a two-year stumping backlog and launched an ambitious plan to clear the work order backlog and build capacity. Their strategy includes an innovative new tree maintenance contract, implementing a proactive tree maintenance program, streamlining workflows and processes, and improving customer experience using technology.
Join us for this insightful webinar as we explore the opportunities, challenges, tactics, and tools for managing the growing demand for municipal tree services. Learn from Mississauga’s experience and strategies to improve service delivery, enhance operational efficiency, and leverage technology in urban forest management. This session is a must for urban forestry professionals seeking to elevate their practices and achieve excellence in managing urban forests.
