Identifying & Mitigating Tree Risk on Land Trust Properties

Trees provide countless benefits, including making oxygen, providing habitats for animals and keeping our air cool. However, trees in poor condition or with structural issues can create an elevated level of risk. How can land trust stewardship practitioners and others making property management decisions know what condition their trees are in, and the level of risk they pose to people or property?

Join Nick Martin of Bartlett Tree Experts, who is an ISA board certified master arborist and ASCA registered consulting arborist, to learn how to manage tree-related risk factors, especially in public access areas and when trees are near structures.

Here's a look at what we will cover:

• Common tree conditions that lead to elevated risk for land trusts.

• Best management practices for mitigating tree-related risks to people, buildings and equipment.

• Tree risk and mitigation tie-ins to relevant Land Trust Standards & Practices, Accreditation Requirements and Terrafirma.
