Forestree

Forestree is a tree management application designed for local government. Councils and municipalities use it to hold data on every tree they look after and to organise inspections, works and risk assessment across their urban forest.

What Forestree offers

• Inspections — quick field data capture built around field staff, with checks on data integrity and automated scheduling of future inspections.
• Works management — ranking tree jobs and assigning them to staff or contractors, with a full history kept for each tree.
• Risk assessment — use of the international TRAQ method to reduce tree risk.
• Planting planning — preparing planting seasons several years ahead, with a council-managed species list.
• Reporting — drilling into data and works to report on any measure.
• Integrations — APIs that connect with systems such as Pathway, TechnologyOne and PowerBI.

Who it works with

Local government bodies. Published examples include the City of Marion and the Town of Walkerville, which used it to raise canopy cover and train field staff.
