Schools

Creating safer outdoor spaces for learning

Schools have a workplace health and safety responsibility to manage mature and potentially hazardous trees on school grounds to ensure the safety of students, staff, and visitors. Understanding the condition of your trees is the first step in managing risk.

Arboressence partners with schools and early learning centres to deliver practical arboricultural consultancy, professional tree care and grounds maintenance that enhance the value of trees while protecting people that enjoy them.
