Tree Advice for Local Authorities and Estate Managers
In order to maintain a safe tree stock close to people and property and to
manage trees effectively, local authorities, public bodies and other major landowners
need accurate and accessible tree data.
Tree Inventories and Risk Assessments
JCA has considerable experience in the delivery of large scale tree surveys for
local authorities, universities, health authorities, housing associations and
other clients.
Our surveys can be tailored to suit your requirements and can focus on general
tree health and condition, tree safety, threat to property (eg street trees and
subsidence risk) or a combination of these.
We can offer risk assessments of hazard trees on any scale. Where appropriate,
the latest technology can be deployed in the detection of decay.
We can utilise existing systems for data capture and analysis or develop a
customized software package.
TPO re-surveys
We are happy to supplement local authority in-house staff to facilitate TPO reviews
or the management of TPO applications.
Land managers, remember, to avoid accusations of negligence you need to:
- have a system
- use the system
- prove you have used the system
Historic Parks Restoration/Development
We have considerable expertise working as specialist advisers in multi-disciplinary
teams on prestigious restorations projects.
Woodland Surveys and Management Plans
Woodlands require ongoing management if they are to fulfil their potential for
providing public amenity, ecological or economic benefits long into the future.
Building on survey data our woodland management plans are comprehensive but
clearly presented, user friendly documents which will effectively direct management
activity over an appropriate period towards desired outcomes.
Advice on woodland creation, ancient woodland, veteran trees, land reclamation,
planting schemes and hedgerow issues is also available.
Project Management
We offer high quality project supervision for arboricultural, countryside management
or forestry projects.
