Lantra Basic Tree Survey & inspection

Course overview

Identifying hazardous trees is a vital part of a number of jobs, from park
rangers to estate workers.

Our training is designed to help you recognise and then report issues to an
appropriate expert.

It’s a basic one-day course to give you the knowledge to be able to identify
potential hazards.

We’ll guide you through the process with a balanced mix of theory and
practice.

You’ll learn the relevant health and safety issues, as well as key
legislation and risk assessments.

A practical session identifying hazardous trees will also form part of the
course.
