Lineworkers often work alongside vegetation management crews during storm restorations and in the field. For this In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) episode, we are featuring a narrated version of the story, "A Slice of Life in the Florida Keys."
The article, which originally appeared in the May 2024 Electric Utility Operations section, was written by Jason Richards, who oversees the vegetation management program for Florida Keys Electric Cooperative (FKEC). He shares how his cooperative connects with the local community on utility vegetation management (UVM).
To learn more about UVM, check out the June 2024 Vegetation Management supplement, published by T&D World in partnership with the Utility Arborist Association (UAA). You can also attend the Trees & Utilities show this September in Fort Worth, Texas, or subscribe to T&D World's Vegetation Management Insights enewsletter.
