I reread Michael's comments. He is right, I agree but what I meant was "as a result of the coroner's inquest" not "at the coroner's inquest". Sorry but I needed to make that clarification. The coroner that I worked for was Dr. David Eden. I made 2 trips to
the RBG to inspect the trails and discuss the maintenance and monitoring of the trees. Right after the inquest that I attended as an expert witness, the industry in fact did make changes to the way trees were inspected and maintained. The Toronto Region Conservation
Authority was the first to document a Tree Risk Assessment Policy followed by many others.</div>

<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 style="color:#001d35; font-family:Google Sans,Roboto,Arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:18px; background-color:#ffffff"><strong> </strong></span></span></p>

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>
