Abstract
An understanding of the many factors affecting tree hazards in recreation sites will help
predict which trees are most likely to fail. Hazard tree management deals with
probabilities of failure. This guide, written for anyone involved in management or
maintenance of public use areas that contain trees, is intended to help minimize the risk
associated with hazard trees by presenting information on their identification and
treatment. |
