An efficient and far-sighted trees management: the case of Golf Club Verona

Trees management in a Golf Club is very difficult both in terms of workers and especially in economic terms. This research, conducted in Golf Club Verona, located at Sommacampagna, tries to define some trees management strategies, that attempt to lower costs in middle-long periods, optimising work times and ensuring people’s safety. The research has provided for the trees census, the exact geographical position and the compilation of a card, containing information about species, diameter, shapes and phyto – sanitary conditions of each tree. Then it has produced a GIS, able to handle every information obtained in field, to encourage a faster and efficient trees management. The research has also considered the possibility to use microchips to insert inside each plant to improve the Golf Club management.
