Course Description
The course will be divided between time in the class and field. The primary focus of discussion will be centered on providing participants with a high level of competency in understanding tree biology; tree mechanics; the different forces applied to trees; structural defects and the interaction of all factors on determining failure potential. An additional focus will be on developing achievable and defensible tree risk management strategies. Subject matter was developed for both municipal foresters and private sector arborists in mind. Numerous thought-provoking failure and analysis demonstrations have been created specifically for this advanced course.
Outcomes
Upon completion of the course, attendees should be able to understand fairly complex risk assessment scenarios, as well as identify the correct fieldwork and reporting avenues to document such risk. In addition, attendees should feel comfortable communicating with clients and the public about tree risk topics and be able to write an effective strategy and report.
