Vegetation Management Technology Evolution: Navigating the Landscape of Innovation

Utility vegetation management is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by emerging technologies, such as satellite imaging, LiDAR, artificial intelligence, condition-based maintenance, tree health monitoring, wildfire mitigation strategies, and drone applications. These advancements are redefining traditional practices and challenging arborists to adapt while balancing operational realities involving trees, wires, and people. This presentation will showcase New England-based, Eversource’s vegetation management program and its journey through the complexities of technology adoption—whether through bold leaps, incremental steps, or bridging strategies. Attendees will gain insights into how these innovations enhance safety, reliability, operational efficiency, and customer experience. Key discussion points include:

- Assessing the current state of vegetation management programs
- Strategies for technology adoption: leap, bridge, or baby step
- Securing senior management buy-in
- Collaborating effectively with IT teams
- Communicating change internally and externally
