Task · part of 6. Hazardous trees: inventory them, or review a professional report
6(b). Review a professional hazardous tree report, then visit the trees
Optional May not apply
A report done by a professional for this area. Visit those trees and the results of the prescription to prune or remove them. Much the quicker route, but only where such a report exists.
Notes and warnings
Warning. CHECK THAT THIS REPORT EXISTS BEFORE YOU CHOOSE THIS ROUTE. It asks you to review "a hazardous tree report done by a professional for this area" and then visit the trees and the results of the prescription. Many camps, parks and neighbourhoods have never had such a survey done, and nothing you do can make one appear. Where it exists this is much the quicker of requirement 6's two routes; where it does not, 6(a) is your only way through. Ask the camp ranger, the park authority or your local council before deciding.
