Forestry & Utility Vegetation Management

PROACTIVE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT CAN PREVENT COSTLY CATASTROPHES

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the electricity blackout of August 14, 2003 was the largest in our nation’s history. It affected more than 50 million people and interrupted critical infrastructure services, costing the American economy $7-$10 billion. The culprit? Overgrown trees.

Preventative Hilscher-Clarke Forestry and utility vegetation management can avoid outages and damage, saving money and risk. The EPA recommends proper maintenance that includes vegetation management. “Unmanaged and poorly maintained vegetation can cause electricity outages, wildfires, soil erosion, and water quality issues. These events can damage electric power infrastructures, resulting in serious reliability, economic, environmental, and national security consequences.” Utility vegetation management is critical to a reliable electrical infrastructure. We offer right-of-way programs that consider customer requirements, cost effectiveness, as well as environmental impact.

 

BRANCHING OUT & CLIMBING NEW HEIGHTS WITH H-C TREE TRIMMING SERVICES

Hilscher-Clarke now offers forestry services to be a true one-stop shop for our transmission and distribution customers. When electricity is interrupted due to storms, as well as other natural disasters, rely on Hilscher-Clarke Forestry to get your systems back online.

We also offer residential forestry services to help you achieve your goals of a safe outdoor environment. A vital part of tree care and management involves the selective removal of tree parts (such as branches, buds, or roots) to maintain or improve tree health, structure, and aesthetics. There are several recognized types of arboricultural pruning, each with specific purposes. Every tree and landscape is different from the next and may require different methods to achieve the desired aesthetic for your property. We can utilize a Crane to trim or remove even the most stubborn of trees.

Overgrown fencerows and property lines can become filled with undergrowth vegetation. We can utilize our specialty Tracked Forestry Mulcher to tame vegetation and achieve the desired results. Trees and brush can be removed in preparation for your next home improvement project.
