Who performs CL&Ps tree work?
Our company certified Arborists will oversee contractor crews that are working on trees to improve reliability for our customers. In the event of severe weather or widespread outages the number of contractors will increase substantially. Every year our company invests in proactive vegetation management programs identifying tree trimming and woody vine removal on and around utility poles. All of this work is performed by contractor tree crews who are trained in all aspects of tree work and the safe work practices necessary for working near energized electric lines. Crews complete the work in accordance with professional standards established by the American National Standards Institute and the International Society of Arboriculture. These guidelines ensure that pruning cuts minimize injury to the tree and consider the individual characteristics (size, shape, form and condition) of each tree.
