Abstract: A network-based system for coordinating over a data communications network a plurality of vegetation maintenance events at a plurality of sites is provided. The network-based system includes a computing system in communication with the data communications network for receiving site-specific vegetation indicators for different sites, generating a forecast of vegetation conditions for at least one of the sites based upon the site-specific vegetation indicators, and generating a schedule for performing future vegetation maintenance events within a predefined time period based on the forecast of needed vegetation maintenance. The network-based system further includes one or more data communications devices in communication with the data communications network. A communications device in communication with the data communications network provides site-specific vegetation indicators to the computing system, and/or receives a post-event vegetation maintenance report from the computing system.
