Project Arborist Services

A project arborist plays a crucial role in managing the tree protection requirements on construction sites. They are hired to oversee various tasks related to tree preservation during the development process and to make sure all works are in accordance with legislation AS 4970-2009 Protection of Trees on Development Sites. Some of their main responsibilities include:

• Erecting and maintaining Tree Protection Fencing in accordance with legislation AS 4970-2009 Protection of Trees on Development Sites.
• Supervising Works Within Tree Protection Zones: The project arborist ensures that any construction or landscaping activities taking place near protected trees follow the guidelines specified in the Tree Protection Plan. They make sure that no harm comes to the trees during these activities.
• Monitoring Tree Health Throughout Construction: During the construction phase, the project arborist regularly checks the health of the protected trees. If any issues arise, they take appropriate actions to address them promptly.
• Carrying Out Scheduled Assessments: The arborist conducts scheduled assessments of the trees to evaluate their condition and make necessary adjustments to the protection measures if required.
• Ensuring Works Surrounding Trees Are Adequately Protected: The arborist ensures that the tree protection measures are in place and followed correctly for all works near the protected trees. This might include installing barriers, limiting access, or implementing root protection measures.

The engagement of a project arborist typically occurs after a Tree Management Plan has been approved by the responsible authority. Once hired, the arborist takes charge of overseeing tree protection efforts before any pre-construction work begins.

Canopy Tree Care Arboriculture Consultants offer their services to provide project supervision specifically related to tree protection zones. They ensure that the trees on the construction site are appropriately managed and protected throughout the construction process, allowing these trees to remain healthy and integral components of the landscape in the future.
