Mobile Community Tree Inventory System

The Mobile Community Tree Inventory (MCTI) system is a Windows-based tool designed for municipalities to manage their tree inventories efficiently. Aimed at arborists, city foresters, and volunteers, the MCTI offers free access via the internet, eliminating the need for additional software purchases. Comprising three components—paper tallies, a desktop program, and a PDA data collection tool—MCTI enhances data entry accuracy, streamlines inventory protocols, and supports varied user applications. Ideal for volunteers, the system facilitates field demonstrations, training, and efficient maintenance tasks.
