Negative Recording

A ‘Walk-over’ or ‘negative recording survey’ can be used on suitable sites. This type of survey involves a non-invasive visual inspection of all the trees within the site, including any potential overhanging third-party trees. However, rather than a full tree stock inventory being produced, only those which pose a risk or requiring management are formally recorded and reported. This approach can be suitable as it is cost-effective for sites with a lower budget however still ensures that risks within the tree stock are identified. It is also suitable to sites with limited or no public access or those with fewer assets to manage.
