Vegetation Management
Areas of Focus
Vegetation strategy for the wildfire era.
Vegetation risk has changed shape – drier conditions, aging infrastructure, wildfire exposure. This subcommittee moves members from reactive trimming to data-driven strategy.
What the committee does: A subcommittee of the Power Delivery Committee, Vegetation Management advances utility-wide strategies for safe, reliable, cost-effective vegetation management against environmental stress, aging infrastructure, and rising wildfire risk – covering technology and innovation (LiDAR, drones, AI), wildfire risk reduction, data-driven planning, and environmental and regulatory engagement. It is home to the Wildfire Mitigation Task Force.
Who it’s for: Vegetation management, forestry, and wildfire mitigation leaders.
Focus area tags: Vegetation Strategy · Wildfire Risk Reduction · LiDAR/Drones/AI · Regulatory Engagement
Why get involved:
- Move from reactive trimming to data-driven, wildfire-aware strategy with peer utilities.
- Compare LiDAR, drone, and AI tools with utilities already using them.

Members include vegetation management professionals, utility operations leaders, forestry experts, environmental planners, data analysts, and risk mitigation teams.
