What will be covered?
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
Recognise the role of the tree inspector in risk management
Identify the legal framework in the context of statute and common law that affect tree inspection and the duties and liabilities of the owner, manager, and inspector
Summarise how a tree system functions, what constitutes a safe tree and know that energy is required to keep the tree in a healthy/safe state
Adopt a systematic and consistent methodology for carrying out visual tree inspection at an advanced level with the aid of binoculars, mallet, and probe
Collect data out in the field in accordance with the inspection instructions (having determined the scope and limitations) using a suitable format. (For this course a written survey template with appropriate headings will be used)
Recognise a range of observable mechanical and biological defects as seen in trees and confirm by the use of textbooks where necessary
Identify a range of commonly seen pests, diseases, and disorders that affect tree safety, confirm their identity by the use of textbooks, where necessary, and state the arboricultural significance of finding them in the field
State the appropriate control/remedial measures required to eliminate or reduce risks identified in the inspection process to an acceptable level
Determine when an aerial inspection is required, also if pro-active management recommendations can be made which may eliminate future defects from forming
Prioritise the necessary tree/management works with time scales based on a broad category of risk assessment
Identify when it is appropriate to recommend the use of decay detecting or measuring equipment, based on a basic knowledge of the working principles of commonly available equipment
Understand that a balance between the remedial measure opted for and the range of benefits/values that a tree may have requires special attention, for example, amenity, wildlife, historical, veteran, rarity, and public access.
