How to survey a Tree

Develop the skills and confidence to observe, record and understand trees in the landscape. Tree surveying is about learning to look carefully. A good survey combines observation, measurement and an understanding of tree biology, structure and surroundings. This one-day introductory course provides a practical introduction to tree surveying. We will explore how to systematically assess a tree, record its characteristics, measure stem width and the process to measure the height of a tree. The course combines classroom learning with practical observation, allowing participants to develop their skills for their own garden.
