Risk Assessment: A five-part ASCA webinar
Presented by a powerhouse of speakers, this series on Risk Assessment was presented as a full-day workshop preceding the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA) 2008 Annual Conference. Knowing the high quality of the program, ASCA had the sessions videotaped to share this learning experience with all those interested in arboriculture.

In this five-session webinar, five presenters will each present a topic critical to Risk Assessment. Three presentations are followed by an exercise, denoted in the session description. All sessions are followed by questions and answers, which - even for those watching on the webinar - serve to expand and explore the topic addressed. You (and as many others as you want) can take the entire five (5) sessions for a reduced price or take one or more of the sessions individually.

What is Risk & How Do We Manage It?
In this session, Nelda Matheny will review the primary components of the risk management process and discuss its application to tree inspection, evaluation, and management.

Managing Tree Risk for the Client
This session will focus on tree risk management and how it is applied comprehensively at the client
level.

Decay ID & Analysis
In this presentation, Christopher Luley, Ph.D.will discuss his recent research about using visual assessment, sounding, and selected decay testing tools to assess the decay status of trees.

Strength Loss Formulas: What We Know & What We Don't Know
As part of the risk assessment process, consultants in the U.S. often use one of the strength loss formulas to assess the likelihood of tree failure given a particular amount of decay.

How to Work with the Uncertainty of Risk Assessment
Consulting arborists evaluate tree health and structural condition, and then make recommendations for action. We are able to identify defects in structure often associated with failure.
