An Overview of Tree Health Assessment Service Offered by Environmental Consultancies
There is perhaps no other sight so wonderful and beautiful than a group of trees swaying away gracefully to blowing wind. Trees are something that can in an instant add a touch of elegance to a place. A good example is a beautifully laid out lawn in front of a building with a few trees. Now, these trees can add to the aesthetic appeal of the building. However, they are much more than just aesthetics. They play a very important role in maintaining the fine balance of the ecology. It is therefore not surprising that governments across the world are now taking steps to ensure that they are taking good care of them. The situation is the same in Australia, which is home to a wide variety of trees. With its wide geographical area, there are several species of trees that can be found in different parts of the country.
As you can see it is important that the health of the trees is assessed from time to time for their wellbeing. This is where Environmental Consultancies can play a key role. Their role is particularly important in the case of project sites. For example, if there is a factory coming up at a particular place, they need to study the impact of the industrial establishment on the health of the surrounding vegetation, of which trees form an important part.
The environmental professionals will first of all undertake a detailed study of the project site or the area that needs to be studied for Tree Health Assessment. Remember, this is a task that cannot be done by everyone. One needs to have a certain kind of expertise and is therefore best left to the professionals. In fact, the study reports are often sought by concerned authorities in different parts of the world for giving their clearance for the projects.
The environmental consultancies will first study the various tree species that are growing in the region. They will make an assessment of their health based on various scientific parameters. Just in case there is an industrial establishment coming up or in certain cases some infrastructure project coming up in the location, they will then need to study about the impact of the project on the plant life in the region. These days there are rating systems such as safe useful life expectancy, popularly referred to as SULE, which are often taken into consideration when carrying out such scientific study of tree health in a particular geographical location.
Studying trees is a difficult reason for another reason too. Unlike plants trees are sometimes huge entities and studying every part becomes that much more difficult. One needs to have access to different branches. Remember, every part needs to be studied in order to find out signs of any ill health. Not every sign is a tell-tale sign. It is therefore important that every part of the tree is studied in detail. It is only after such careful evaluation that the environmental scientists will study remedial measures.
