What About Hazard Trees?

A hazard tree is a tree that is unhealthy or unsound, and has a significant likelihood of falling (completely or in part) on a structure or otherwise create a safety hazard to structures or people. The hazard potential of a tree can be determined by a certified arborist. If an arborist determines that a tree is a hazard, it can be removed. Submit the hazard assessment to WDFW prior to cutting the danger tree.
