When you are involved with managing properties, buildings, infrastructure, or any kind of asset, you understand that to remain assets, proactive management is required. This is typically achieved through creating and implementing a management plan. Looking across allied professions, these plans are known by many names such as capital improvement plan, infrastructure maintenance plan, lifecycle maintenance plan, reserve study, or site maintenance plan.
In the tree care profession, arborists create tree management plans to assist property owners and managers with this growing asset. There are various types and names for these plans, including community tree plan, conservation management plan, landscape management plan, park maintenance plan, open space management plan, tree and shrub care plan, or urban forest management plan.
Trees are one of those assets that, with proper management, can increase in value over time (both a tree itself and overall property value). As with all assets, trees will only grow in value (and in the benefits they provide) with proactive, timely, and consistent care. That is where working with qualified arborists to quantify your trees through a tree inventory can help create a proactive tree management plan to protect and grow those assets.
