Do Your Trees Pose a Risk?

The short answer to the question in the title is — quite possibly if your trees are over head high. But tree risk is not unlike the risk we take every day as soon as we get out of bed or when we cross a street. Tree risk is a combination of the probability of an event and the severity of its consequences. For tree owners, there are methods available to assess risk and make decisions accordingly.

We all know that trees provide tremendous benefits. We can also agree that no one wants trees to damage property or hurt people. Tree risk assessment provides a way to minimize the chances that community or privately owned trees will cause harm. There are now practices and guidelines available for use in making sound decisions about any tree. The result can help prevent accidents and the unnecessary removal of trees. READ MORE
