Forestree

Forestree is a cloud-based tree management system made for local government and municipalities. Councils use it to keep a record of public trees and plan the work needed to look after their urban forest. The data collection side is designed around the people working in the field.

Main features

• Tree inspections: Field users log inspections quickly, and future scheduled inspections can be automated.
• Work management: Tree works are prioritised and assigned to staff or contractors, with a complete history kept for every tree.
• Risk assessment: Risk is assessed using the international TRAQ standard.
• Planting plans: Planting seasons can be planned years ahead, using a species list the council manages itself.
• Reporting: Data and works can be drilled into to produce whatever report is needed.
• Integrations: APIs link it to existing systems such as Pathway, TechnologyOne and PowerBI.
