Trees in our urban forest may present an unacceptable level of risk for the tree owner or manager. This is where an arborist trained in tree-risk assessment can identify the issues and provide mitigation options to reduce the risk to an acceptable level. As arborists, our goal is to provide solutions to conditions of concern with appropriate mitigation options, while avoiding removal when at all possible.
