A Windows-Based Street Tree Inventory Tool for Municipalities
The idea behind the MCTI system was to design a tree inventory software application that could be distributed to
arborists, tree managers, city foresters and consultants at no cost via the internet, and have it packaged as a stand alone program, requiring the purchase of no additional computer
software.
• The MCTI system is comprised of three components, with each component building on the foundation of the previous level.
• Enables use by a variety of users.
• Variable level of applicability• From paper to PDA implementation
• Variable inventory protocols• Maintenance• Risk tree• Utility
• Easy to use• Inexpensive… ideal for volunteers
