Title: Tree Risk Assessment for Non-Experts

Description:  With the roll-out of ISA's TRAQ program and much ongoing research in tree biomechanics and strength factors of decay and other tree defects, Tree Risk Assessment has received a lot of attention in recent years. However, most tree workers who will be climbing trees or rigging from them do not have a TRAQ arborist and usually do not even have a certified arborist on the crew. This Tree Talk is designed to give non-expert tree workers and/or the people that supervise those crews some basic tools to identify potentially hazardous trees or parts of trees prior to entering the tree or rigging from it. 

Presenter:  Bob Meoak
