SUMMARY:Clearing the Backlog: Managing the Growing Demand for Municipal Tree Services
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a UCFS Learning Series! \nUrban 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. \nThe 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. \nJoin 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. \nLearning Objectives: \nAt the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the growing demand for municipal tree services and key drivers\, including the existing conditions\, and constraints in administering maintenance programs.\nIdentify best practices for operational excellence in urban forest management\, focusing on efficiency and effectiveness.\nImplement technology to streamline workflows\, enhance data management\, and improve customer experience.\n\nApproved for one ISA CEU. \nRegister today!
