In an attempt to satisfy what may be perceived as an onerous legal duty of care, tree owners are often driven by the risk-mongers to implement unreasonable and disproportionate levels of tree safety management, but in reality, the tree owner needs to demonstrate only that they have acted reasonably in their management of tree safety.

Tree risk management should not focus solely on risk minimisation, but should balance the benefits of risk reduction with the associated costs relative to both lost tree value and any financial resources required to reduce the risk further. Cheshire Woodlands can assist in developing both your policy for tree risk management and a strategy for its implementation.
