<p>The RBG inquest was specific to RBG and does not include a
mandate for municipalities, conservation authorities, parks and
institutions managing large populations of trees. A plan text
reading of the <em>Verdict for Coroner's Jury</em> and the <em>Verdict
Explanation</em> does not indicate any recommendations that
are to be applied outside of the RBG.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>18 recommendations were made by the Jury and commented on by
Dr. Wolski, the Coroner for Ontario. These were largely
implemented by RBG and Ian Bruce.</p>
<p>Reading the documents one must be very careful to interpret the
language, specifically risk; ISO 31000 defines risk as "the
effect of uncertainty on objectives" while risk is used to
indicate likelihood of failure, danger, unsafe, hazard etc. in
common language usage.<span

A mandate was given at the coroner's inquest in 2005
towards the development of Tree Risk Assessment Policies
as a result of the unfortunate child death on an
educational trail at the Royal Botanical Gardens. At that
time, I was retained by the coroner. This mandate was for
municipalities, conservation authorities, parks and
institutions managing large populations of trees. I would
like to know in the case of municipalities how private
trees targeting public lands are being evaluated and
monitored? Sadly, I am in the middle of this now.<br>
Secondly, I would appreciate any opinions on what the
average homeowner is expected or should know about trees
at risk on their properties. I do know about Property
Standards ans associated bylaws.<br>
