Danger Tree Assessment and Hazard-Tree Removal
Danger tree assessment and mitigation planning for corridors, worksites, and roads in BC and Alberta. Assessment and falling scope can be reviewed together.
Wild Timber Industries provides danger tree assessment and hazard tree assessment across BC and Alberta. Hazard tree identification along roads, transmission corridors, worksites, and recreation areas, followed by mitigation planning for the agreed scope.
A hazard tree can threaten people, equipment, or access. Assessment identifies the condition and exposure; where falling is required, that work is scoped and scheduled separately or as part of the agreed package.
Who hires us for assessments: utilities and pipeline operators with corridor hazards, government and recreation-site managers, mining and industrial sites, and prime contractors who need assessment records organized before crews mobilize.

Danger tree assessment and mitigation planning for corridors, worksites, and recreation areas in BC and Alberta.
experienced assessment
experienced fallers assessing each tree for structural defects, lean, crown failure, and proximity to targets, with findings documented for the site supervisor.
Hazard tree falling
falling of identified danger trees, with assessment, mitigation, and responsibilities defined in the agreed scope.
Corridor and ROW assessment
Danger tree assessment integrated into hydro, pipeline, and utility right-of-way clearing programs across BC and Alberta.
Assessment and action within the agreed scope
An assessor who only assesses leaves you with a list and a problem. We provide the assessment and the crews to act on it. Our experienced team evaluates each tree using the structural defect and hazard rating methodology recognized under BC and Alberta occupational health and safety requirements. Findings are documented so your site supervisor and safety officer have a clear, defensible record.
Hazard work along transmission corridors and utility right of way around northern BC is a major part of what we do. The combination of heavy snowpack, wind events, and beetle-kill across the interior between Burns Lake and Fort Nelson creates steady demand for corridor hazard assessments. Our crews know how to work efficiently along a line, identify the trees that present actual risk, and fall them without disrupting the corridor schedule.
Our crews have experience on utility right of way and hydro corridor work, so we understand the clearance standards, access constraints, and documentation requirements that come with power line work. Confirm any project-specific assessor or safety credentials your program requires before mobilization.
Danger tree work connects to our hydro and right-of-way clearing, tree falling, and vegetation management services.
Danger tree assessment questions
What qualifies as a danger tree?
A danger tree is any tree that could harm a person, damage equipment, or obstruct a work area if it fell. Factors include root damage, fungal infection, dead crowns, lean, proximity to structures, and the likelihood and direction of fall.
Do you fall the trees you assess?
We can scope assessment and falling separately or together. Assessment identifies hazards and mitigation options; any falling scope is confirmed for the project.
Do you do corridor and right-of-way danger tree work?
Yes. We provide danger tree assessment for utility corridors, right-of-way clearing, transmission lines, and pipeline routes, integrated with our hydro and vegetation management services.
What does a danger tree assessor look for?
A danger tree assessor evaluates each tree for structural defects: root decay, basal wounds, trunk cavities, crown failure, lean beyond normal growth, and proximity to targets like roads or worksites. We use a documented tree-hazard assessment process aligned with the requirements your safety program and site supervisor provide, and we document findings for a clear record.
