Tree owners may require a tree condition and risk assessment of their trees which are within falling distance of valuable targets such as their property or parked vehicles. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, o<\/span>wners of trees also have a legal responsibility to ensure that their trees are in a safe condition if the\n trees in question overhang a neighbouring property, a highway or public right of way, in order to limit the risk of damage or injury caused to a member of the public or their property.<\/p>\n

Trees provide a wide range of ecological benefits such as those listed below. However, trees also come with certain risks, such as the potential for falling branches or entire trees, which can pose a threat to people and property. To balance the ecological benefits of trees with the risks they pose, it is important to take a comprehensive approach that considers both the benefits and risks.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
