 Landowners
have a legal duty of care to safeguard habitats for protected
species. One of the rarest types of habitat is linked to dead
wood in old trees.
A veteran tree is a valued specimen that is old for its species
and is appreciated for its biological, cultural or aesthetic
worth.
The Treework System™ is designed to assist landowners
and site managers to understand and manage veteran trees.
Treework Environmental Practice designed the national standard
for surveying veteran trees, known as The Specialist Survey
Method (SSM). The SSM is incorporated into the Treework System™
and enables the land manager to record and quantify veteran
tree habitat.
This provides the means to carry out effective biodiversity
management and to make comparisons within and between sites
at a local and national level.
The Treework System™ allows you to
- Plot trees and produce maps using integrated GIS
- Survey and record habitat associated with trees
- Analyse habitat provided by different tree species
- Carry out an arboricultural condition assessment
of veteran tree populations
- Understand the factors leading to decline and loss
- Analyse population trends to inform management to
safeguard future populations
- Provide individual veteran tree management plans
- Highlight the presence of species dependent on deadwood
habitat
- Meet your developing requirements through the versatile
database modular structure
