The Hazard Tree Handbook was first written as a guide to managers of outdoor recreational sites to protect their guests from failed trees and themselves from liability. Today it is being used by arborists, attorneys, government risk management officials, homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts. It is a guide to identifying and treating hazardous trees. Failed tree accidents are preventable. This book presents information about what causes trees to fail and how to prevent harm from them.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Saved my garage,
By Doug White (Boise, Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hazard Tree Handbook (Paperback)
I had a tree next to my garage I have been worried about. A local tree service said it was strong, but after buying the book, I recognized many signs (fungus, cracks, two tops) of a hazardous tree. After cutting down, I saw how rotton the inside was, just like the pictures in the book. Without this book, there is no telling how much damage it could have done to my garage.

By deb (seattle (area), wa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hazard Tree Handbook (Paperback)
I bought this book at a home show. I wanted to be sure that the trees that surround my home and yard were safe. This book was easy to understand and showed us specifically that we had a problem.We called a arborist who came to our property and removed the trees for us.
