Abstract: Many people, unless they also are in the utility business, do not realize that the process of blending natural beauty (trees) with good electric service is such a large job. This presentation provides a general overview of procedures used by our Forestry department and its contractors in maintaining beauty and service in a city with many trees. Our utility has established a computer-aided Forestry Notification Program, which is in its infant stages, that works with nurseries and customers to encourage the planting of low-growing trees in the right-of-way.
