Task · part of 6. Hazardous trees: inventory them, or review a professional report

6(a). Inventory hazardous trees yourself, then hand the list over

Optional May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 6: inventory the hazardous trees yourself, or review a professional report?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Within a specific area such as a campsite, road, trail or street: note the species and the hazardous condition, and suggest a remedy, either removal or trimming. Then make your list available to the proper authority or agency, which is a step of its own.

Note. This route does not end when the list is written. The requirement says to MAKE YOUR LIST AVAILABLE TO THE PROPER AUTHORITY OR AGENCY, which means finding out who that is for your campsite, park or street and actually sending it. Worth identifying that person while you are doing the inventory rather than afterwards.
