Are you an arborist or urban forester who conducts tree risk assessments?

Researchers from the Universities of Toronto, Florida and Wisconsin-Stevens Point are researching how arborists perceive the likelihood of failure of included bark. They’ve put together a survey with scenarios and photos and are looking for tree care professionals to rate the likelihood of failure. As an incentive, there will be a drawing for one of ten $100 gift cards to an arborist supply store.

Please feel free to distribute this survey to other arborists who might be interested in taking the survey. Any comments or questions can be directed to the principal investigator Alexander Martin (University of Toronto – Mississauga) at alexjf.martin@mail.utoronto.ca.
