NEW Aerial Tree Assessments Surveys

 
 

With experience in arboriculture, forestry and ecology the Arborist Support Team can liaise effectively with clients to design effective ecological solutions to arboricultural, forestry and development projects.

The presence of bats in trees often comes into conflict with development and forestry and arboricultural operations, often resulting in the need for some form of risk assessment prior to works, to ensure that no statutory offence is committed.

Aerial bat tree inspections involve climbing into a tree using ropes and harnesses to inspect features which may support roosting bats.  There are several advantages to using aerial inspections over more conventional nocturnal surveys:

  • Thorough examination of potential bat roost features with endoscopes
  • No need for multiple surveys
  • Fewer ecologists are required to cover the same sample of trees. 
  • Usually more definitive as demonstrating roost absence is more likely
  • Provides an early indication of the presence of a bat roost, negating project schedule delays

As Aerial inspections are the most robust tree risk assessment technique, informed recommendations can be made as to whether works can be carried out on a tree.

Trees are climbed following the Arboricultural Association’s (2006) and the Health & Safety Executive’s (2011; 2011a) guidelines for climbing trees, using appropriate climbing equipment, endoscopes and high powered torches.

Our results are presented in professional reports and plans suitable for submission to a local planning authority identifying bat roost status and recommending mitigation strategies where appropriate.
