For land owners and land managers where mature trees stand it is imperative that you consider tree inspections and a subsequent report for your record. Tree owners and those managing the property are legally obliged to provide a duty of care for people and property. Should a tree or limb fail and cause damage or injury then the tree owner or land manager is held liable. A tree inspection highlights any flaws that need working on to mitigate potential accidents. Should an accident happen while there is a valid report then the owner or manager will have shown a duty of care and would not be responsible. For more information please see: Vitruvian Trees
