risk tree


Trees in our cities and towns beautify our urban landscapes, but they are more than just a pretty face. Their functional values are becoming increasingly more important in the midst of climate change and disappearing urban forests and woodlots.


The urban environment is tough for growing trees and our changing climate is going to make it even tougher. Planting trees is part of the solution, but not the answer. We can’t just keep planting trees; we have to start growing and sustaining existing trees.


Many tree issues are relatively easy to diagnose, but, when it comes to diagnosing issues below ground, where the roots are located, it becomes a bit tricky.
