Req 6 — Choose a Hazard Tree Activity
6.
In your camp, local recreation area (park or equivalent), or neighborhood, do ONE of the following:
You choose exactly one hazard tree activity. Both options are about safety, but they teach slightly different skills.
Your Two Options
Req 6a — Hazard Tree Inventory: Survey a defined area, note tree species and hazardous conditions, and suggest whether trimming or removal might be appropriate. This option teaches observation and practical reporting.
Req 6b — Review a Professional Hazard Tree Report: Study a report prepared by a professional, then visit the trees and the results of the prescribed work. This option teaches you how experts document and act on risk.
How to Choose
Choosing Your Hazard Tree Option
Pick the version that fits your access and confidence
- If you can work in a camp, park, or neighborhood with an adult’s help, Req 6a gives you hands-on observation.
- If a park, camp, or agency already has a tree report, Req 6b lets you learn from professional documentation.
- What you will gain: Req 6a builds field judgment; Req 6b helps you interpret expert recommendations and outcomes.
- Best follow-up: Both options connect strongly to Req 7 because storm damage, disease, insects, and wildfire can all create hazard trees.
