We specialize in comprehensive Danger Tree Assessments across British Columbia and Alberta, helping clients identify, evaluate, and mitigate hazardous trees that pose a threat to people, infrastructure, and critical operations. Whether you manage a forested worksite, seismic line, recreational area, or residential property, our certified assessors and fallers provide professional evaluations backed by industry-leading safety standards and regional compliance.
What is a Danger Tree Assessment?
A Danger Tree (also known as a hazardous or unsafe tree) is any tree with structural defects, decay, root instability, or damage that increases the risk of falling or limb failure. These trees can pose serious safety risks during logging, seismic work, fire suppression efforts, or land development — especially in areas with heavy equipment, crews, or the public nearby.
A Danger Tree Assessment is the process of systematically inspecting these trees to:
- Evaluate structural integrity
- Identify defects such as rot, cracks, root upheaval, or insect damage
- Assess the likelihood of failure and potential targets
- Recommend control actions such as felling, pruning, or monitoring
Certified, Field-Tested, and Regionally Compliant
All of our danger tree assessors are fully trained and certified under regional programs such as:
- WorkSafeBC Wildlife/Danger Tree Assessor Course
- Alberta OH&S Wildfire Safety Standards
- Canadian Forestry Service hazard tree protocols
Our team includes both certified assessors and qualified fallers, ensuring that identified hazard trees can be safely removed on-site without delay — whether during emergency response or proactive project planning.
