What is Tree Risk Assessment?
The systematic process used to identify, analyze, and evaluate tree risk. Assessing risk requires the categorizing or to quantify both the likelihood of occurrence and the severity of the consequences.
Risk assessments will not justify the removal of healthy and safe trees, or the removal of an unwanted tree. Tree aesthetics are unrelated to tree risk assessment.
