Landowners have a legal duty of care to ensure the safety of their trees, particularly those near public access areas and rights of way. Insurers may also require regular tree surveys and prompt action on any identified risks to maintain coverage and minimise hazards.
Woodland and forest owners must remain vigilant for signs of poor tree health, including notifiable diseases and pests. A professional aboricultural survey can help in early detection and reporting, ensuring any potential issues are managed, alongside compliance with regulatory requirements.
As living organisms, trees are naturally dynamic within their surroundings. However, external factors such as wind, disease, and water availability can accelerate deterioration, increasing the potential risk of damage to property and injury to the general public.
To manage these risks effectively, it is essential to have a structured and defensible tree safety system in place. This ensures risks are mitigated to the lowest practicable level while protecting landowners from legal liabilities.
