QTRA , VALID, tree risk

[Liquidambar]

If not "safe" can we assume all the other trees on the embankment have been looked at /assessed for risk ?

Why aren't all the other trees on the embankment identified by species /named/published /shown on a plan ?

Sounds like it's been what is sometimes called a 'negative survey' i.e. only recording the trees that need work. The report should say as much and should clarify that all the rest are OK. If it doesn't, bin it and get a real surveyor in.

The Validator Tree Risk-Benefit Management Strategy, I shared in the previous post, answers these questions.

 

If you're concerned about the risk from the trees, have you thought about asking the land owner whether they'll share a copy of the report?

You might find this Australian article that reviews VALID, TRAQ, and QTRA useful.

 

I shared it on our social media the other week, along with a commentary about VALID's risk model, and I've put it up on the News page of the website.

The commentary also explains that none of the commonly used tree risk assessment systems have been 'peer reviewed'.

 

 

A recent post had this old thread resurface. I've just re-read it, and see there's an issue with the link above. It takes you to the News page of the website. The post referred to was at the top of the News at the time. There are now more News posts, so the article is much further down.

 

Here's a link that takes you directly to the post.
