Arborist Reports
Arborist reports help municipalities make informed decisions about tree management. In municipalities with tree protection bylaws this document will be necessary to support a construction or development application.
Tree Protection Plan
A Tree Protection Plan is based upon a construction site plan and used to direct site teams on how tree protected needs to be set up within the site. This is based on the Arborist Report and the plan will act to support any tree injury or removal application
Tree Risk Assessment
Tree risk assessment assessment is required for trees with visible defects like cracks, decay, or dead branches, and for trees located near high-traffic areas or structures where a falling tree could pose a risk to people or property. You should consider a TRAQ assessment if you notice signs of tree distress, are planning construction that could impact trees, or want to proactively identify and mitigate potential hazards to protect your property and people.
Tree Inventory
Our services include comprehensive data collection and tree inventory for municipalities and within forest settings. We utilize advanced technology such as GSP locationing, and methodologies to assess tree populations, monitor health, and support sustainable management practices. By providing detailed reports and analysis, we help local governments and environmental organizations make informed decisions to best protect the urban forest.
