Tree Survey starting in March 2024
Over the next few months we’ll be carrying out a survey of all the trees on our land.
Trees can pose significant hazards if left unchecked. Dead branches, weaknesses, and disease can lead to branches and trees falling, damaging property and injuring people.
Surveys, like the one that we’re doing, allow us to spot any weakness in the trees and mean that we can be proactive, doing things like pruning, cabling, or even removing trees so that we can protect your loved ones and your home.
We own thousands of trees throughout the Bradford district. Lots of these trees are in shared spaces along roads and in gardens.
Due to scale of the work, we have formed a partnership with tree specialist Glendale Countryside, who will be doing the survey on our behalf.
Glendale Countryside Tree Inspectors will always carry Identification cards and will usually be wearing a high visibility jacket. They will also be carrying a letter from us explaining about the work they are doing and providing contact details, in case you want to confirm their identity with us.
The survey will provide us with a professional assessment, giving us all peace of mind and confidence in the safety and longevity of the trees in your community.
We have prepared some Frequently Asked Questions about the tree survey. But if you still have questions about this work, please call us on 01274 257990.
