| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses tree conservation, stating that "apart from the emotional/personal losses [that can result from falling trees], there are significant financial burdens resulting from costly litigation and settlements." Focuses on the dichotomy of "conserving vs. preserving" when creating a tree management plan, suggesting that "the 'Conservation Ethic' becomes the more sustainable option moving forward with...[a] plan." Notes the potential importance of managing the objectives of clients, encouraging discussion among course managers and property owners. Details the process involved with establishing a budget, highlighting the use of an "'A' Capital Budget", a "'B' Maintenance Budget", and a "'C' Contingency Budget." Recommends creating an inventory of all trees on the property, mentioning that "many managers opt to hire third party individuals to keep an arms-length approach to the data collection." Concludes that "safety is number one, and...risk-associated operations should be tackled before moving on to any other activities." |
