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. Removing or modifying live and dead vegetation can reduce the spread of wildland fire ignitions, overall rates of wildland fire spread, flame lengths, and catastrophic fire severity.
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.”
