[CANUFNET] Professional Development Opportunity in Quebec : Advanced Tree Risk Assessment with Dr. Julian Dunster October 20th, Salaberry-de-Valleyfield Quebec

Tue Sep 12 12:02:55 EDT 2017

Greetings all (un message en français suivra),

In an effort to make risk assessment literature and practices more widely available and discussed in Quebec and Eastern Ontario, the Quebec Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture is hosting a 1 day Advanced Tree Risk Assessment Workshop with Dr. Julian Dunster in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield Quebec - just a stone's throw from the autoroute 20/ highway 401 border!

Details can be found below or at the following website http://boutique.siaq.org/produits/fr/formation-advanced-tree-risk-assessment-p126/

The workshop will be given in English. There is an early-bird rate in effect until Friday for registration and we still have some spots left. Join us for a day of learning and discussion.

By making more information on risk assessment approaches available, we hope to foster industry collaboration on getting more resources translated into French. First step, is to start with what's available and go from there!

Thanks for your time!

INFORMATION ET CONTENU DE LA FORMATION / INFORMATION AND WORKSHOP CONTENT
* La formation est donnée exclusivement en anglais. / This workshop is in English

Tree risk assessment is an area of urban forest management that has evolved rapidly in the past decade. We have moved from simple hazard tree assessment concepts into a more sophisticated understanding of risk in general. With the introduction of the ISA’s Best Management Practices document for Tree Risk Assessment, and the Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), several new approaches and guidelines have been introduced. Within the field of tree risk assessment there are many techniques and concepts to master; from basic principles through to sophisticated diagnostic techniques.

This course will focus on Level Three advanced tree risk assessment, but will also link this to Levels One and Two to show when Level Three may be required, and how to relate it to other work.

This course will be delivered by Dr. Julian Dunster, the designer of the original Certified Tree Risk Assessor credential (TRACE) and author of the new ISA Tree Risk Assessment manual for the TRAQ course. The course will be of interest to anyone practicing tree risk assessment, and especially arborists already holding the Tree Risk Assessment Qualification.

About Dr. Julian

He is a Registered Consulting Arborist, a Registered Professional Forester, and a Registered Professional Planner, and in addition to two degrees in forestry, he holds a Doctorate in Regional Planning and Resource Development.

Key Factors

Levels of Assessment

Review how each level feeds into the next one to provide increasing levels of detail.

The Implications of Advanced Assessment: An Overview

  *   why do you need it?
  *   asking the right questions
  *   knowing what to look for
  *   knowing what you are looking at
  *   professional and legal implications

Knowing What to Look For

  *   baselines: the biological and mechanically ‘perfect’ tree
  *   variations around ‘perfection’ and what they might mean
  *   Knowing what you are looking at
  *   Body Language: how to read and interpret it
  *   Theorising ideas about what any one variation might mean
  *   How to test your theory and see if you are right

Testing Techniques

  *   Invasive versus non-invasive issues
  *   discussion

Documenting and Defending the Results

The importance of clearly documenting the thought processes that lead you to undertake a Level Three assessment. Showing where, why and how you tested, and what you concluded based on the results.

Class Session Discussing Real World Examples

Participants are encouraged to submit beforehand a brief outline of a case study about investigations or anomalies they have encountered (details will be provided with the registration information). Up to six of these will be selected for presentation and discussion in class. We will examine the basic issues and then decide what we would have done, and how we might have interpreted the issues to arrive at a conclusion.
