Tree risk assessments in public areas

Today 7th May 2015 I carried out my annual tree inspections for NP&W service inspecting trees around some of their camping and picnic areas at Euroka and Murphy’s Glen and Wheeny Creek Assessing tree for their health and structure this was very good timing after all the heavy rain and strong winds of the past 2 weeks. Most of the tree though mature and having some minor structure defects only needed the deadwood greater than 20mm removed as per Australian Standard Pruning of amenity trees AS 4373-2007. At times it easy to become complacent on how beautiful our country is our trees how tall and majestic than can be around these camping areas I saw some very beautiful Eucalyptus Deanei, Mountains Blue Gum (see Photos) some Turpentine’s Angophora Floribunda, Rough Bark apple, Angophora Costata Smooth bark apple and Iron barks
