Template: Create a tree maintenance and monitoring plan

This template will guide you through the process of developing a tree maintenance and monitoring plan.  

This includes:

• Planning for long-term care: outline how you will maintain trees over time and carry out reactive or unplanned maintenance.  
• Tracking and adapting over time: identify how you will monitor tree health, survival and site conditions, and use that information to respond to issues such as stress, pests, disease or extreme weather.
• Clarifying roles and responsibilities: define who will carry out maintenance and monitoring activities, how often they will occur, and how data will be stored and used to inform future maintenance or adaptive management activities.
