6. Survey, Inspection and Risk Assessment

Tree risk assessment has aroused wide concern in recent years. Examining tree structures, carefully assessing risk levels and taking appropriate follow-up measures can help prevent accidents caused by trees. In addition, data collected through plant and tree surveys are useful for making appropriate recommendations for environmental planning and conservation.

This functional area includes: "Plant Surveys", "Tree Surveys and Impact Assessment", and "Tree Inspection and Risk Assessment".
