Street Tree Ordinance Development/Revision
Street tree ordinances are the legal foundation upon which successful urban forestry programs are built. Street tree ordinances empower and define the duties of those individuals directly responsible for tree care. Street tree ordinances establish guidelines for maintenance practices and procedures. Street tree ordinances must reflect the unique needs of each municipality. Ranger Services can develop a street tree ordinance policy, or revise an existing one, to accommodate your communities needs.

Urban Forestry Management Plans
Effective street tree management plans and programs are based on an accurate assessment of the tree population. The Urban Forest composition will dictate the management techniques within a management plan. Pruning roations may be lengthened, vigorous planting programs may be initiated, or the removal of a large number of hazardous trees may all be deemed necessary, based on the information supplied in a tree inventory.
Urban Forestry Program Development
Ranger Services will develop comprehensive street tree management programs which will provide essential care throughout a tree's life. Municipalities are broken into management units. Maintenance programs are then developed within these management units based on the individual tree's maintenance requirements.
