Treework Environmental Practice services

Trees situated close to property or on publicly accessible land present potential risk to both personal and public safety. Landowners are responsible for damage or injury caused by trees on their land and have a duty of care to prevent foreseeable harm occurring to people from any hazardous trees situated on their property. Trees need to be assessed regularly and managed to keep risks of causing harm or injury low.

Veteran trees provide an abundance and continuity of specialist habitats for plant, insect and animal species, particularly in relation to dead wood. Landowners have a duty of care to protect the habitats of species designated for conservation priority.

Treework Environmental Practice has considerable experience in supporting managers of significant sites with high levels of public access. The Practice aids the development and implementation of policy in order that the landowner or manager can meet their duty of care with regard to both public safety and their environmental policy.
