From Insight to Action. Forester Makes UVM Work.
Forester UVM is the flexible, utility-driven vegetation management platform that integrates AI imagery, work management, and contractor coordination – so you always send the right person to the right place with the right context.
Turn satellite and AI insights into real-world results — managing crews, vendors, compliance, and reporting across your vegetation program.
Trusted by Utilities Nationwide
Forester UVM’s software suite was instrumental in bringing the administrative side of our Forestry program into the 21st century. Using Forester across multiple devices and platforms eliminated unnecessary paperwork and redundant data entry. Forester provided an elegant mobile work management solution for our contractor crews and brought all of our work planning, invoicing, and vegetation management reporting together into one accessible module.

MGE has been using Forester UVM software for almost seven years. We are fully integrated at this point: the web portal is used to organize and plan work on a yearly basis; our utility arborists continue to refine their work practices using Forester UVM on iOS; while the pruning crews are using Forester UVM for true mobile work management (this change cannot be understated: we’ve seen significant efficiency gains with more reliable data capture; this better data has allowed us to modify our pruning cycle and to make near real-time adjustments in our work plans); and our vendors use Forester UVM for invoicing. Forester UVM as our single software solution has saved us significant administrative time; it has also helped us standardize our processes and smooth out work flows; and provided a much-improved customer experience with instant access to site attributes and work details: years of customer interactions are easily accessible with a few clicks.
