      Quantified Tree Risk Assessment Practitioner

      Internationally accepted risk assessment system used in arboriculture worldwide considers the usage of the land on which the trees stand to inform the assessment of the tree. The system moves the management of tree safety away from labelling trees as either safe or unsafe and instead quantifies the risk from tree failure as a probability.

      Apr 2011 - now
      Owner and Managing Director

      My passion for sustainable tree management and urban forestry in the ACT motivated me to establish Gold Leaf Tree Services. I wanted to make the kind of contribution to Canberra’s urban forests that will last for the next 100 years. While many companies have a reactive approach to tree management, Gold Leaf Tree Services is committed being proactive. We take a holistic approach to tree management and recognise the value of maintaining their health for environmental sustainability, value to land, and the enjoyment of future generations.As well as leading the company, I am a AQF Level 5 Consulting Arborist, a Quantified Tree Risk Assessment practitioner, and ActewAGL accredited.
