20+

This Public Tree Evaluation Form supports urban forestry teams in assessing the condition, risk, and maintenance needs of public trees. It captures key details such as species, DBH, height, spread, crown and age class, pruning history, and overall vigor. Site conditions and recent disturbances are recorded alongside targets, occupancy, and defects including root issues, lean, decay, and structural concerns. Actionable recommendations cover deadwooding, thinning, selective and formative pruning, crown lifting, reduction, and remedial pruning to guide safe, compliant tree management.

QPWS Lower Burdekin Hazardous Tree Inspection Form
This hazardous tree inspection template helps parks, grounds, and facility teams evaluate tree safety and condition. Capture site details, species, DBH, height, crown class, age class, and pruning history. Assess health indicators including foliage, vigor, dieback, epicormic growth, pests, and diseases. Record site disturbances, targets and occupancy, and defects across crown, trunk, and roots. Use the risk matrix to calculate hazard and risk ratings, identify likely failure parts, set inspection periods, and document recommendations such as arborist review, removal, replacement, or moving targets.
