Danger Tree Assessment & Assessors
Certified danger tree assessment and mitigation for corridors, worksites, and roads in BC and Alberta. Assessment and falling from the same crew.
Wild Timber Industries provides danger tree assessment and hazard tree assessment across BC and Alberta. Our certified assessors handle hazard tree identification along roads, transmission corridors, worksites, and recreation areas, then prescribe the mitigation that removes the risk.
A hazard tree is an accident waiting to happen. A qualified assessor finds it before it falls. We provide both the assessment and, where needed, the certified falling crews to carry out the mitigation, all under one contract.
Who hires us for assessments: utilities and pipeline operators with corridor hazards, government and recreation-site managers, mining and industrial sites, and prime contractors who need assessments signed off before crews mobilize.

Certified danger tree assessment and mitigation for corridors, worksites, and recreation areas in BC and Alberta.
Certified assessment
Certified fallers assessing each tree for structural defects, lean, crown failure, and proximity to targets, documented to WorkSafeBC standards.
Hazard tree falling
Certified falling of identified danger trees, carried out by the same team that assessed them, under one contract.
Corridor and ROW assessment
Danger tree assessment integrated into hydro, pipeline, and utility right-of-way clearing programs across BC and Alberta.
Assessment and action under one contract
An assessor who only assesses leaves you with a list and a problem. We provide the assessment and the crews to act on it. Our certified team evaluates each tree using the structural defect and hazard rating methodology recognized under BC and Alberta occupational health and safety requirements. Findings are documented so your site supervisor and safety officer have a clear, defensible record.
Hazard work along transmission corridors and utility right of way around northern BC is a major part of what we do. The combination of heavy snowpack, wind events, and beetle-kill across the interior between Burns Lake and Fort Nelson creates steady demand for corridor hazard assessments. Our crews know how to work efficiently along a line, identify the trees that present actual risk, and fall them without disrupting the corridor schedule.
We hold certifications for hazard tree falling and assessment, and our crews have experience on utility right of way and hydro corridor work, which means we understand the clearance standards, the access constraints, and the documentation requirements that come with power line work.
Danger tree work connects to our hydro and right-of-way clearing, tree falling, and vegetation management services.
Danger tree assessment questions
What qualifies as a danger tree?
A danger tree is any tree that could harm a person, damage equipment, or obstruct a work area if it fell. Factors include root damage, fungal infection, dead crowns, lean, proximity to structures, and the likelihood and direction of fall.
Do you fall the trees you assess?
Yes. We provide assessment and falling under the same contract. Our assessors identify the hazard and prescribe the mitigation, and our certified fallers carry it out.
Do you do corridor and right-of-way danger tree work?
Yes. We provide danger tree assessment for utility corridors, right-of-way clearing, transmission lines, and pipeline routes, integrated with our hydro and vegetation management services.
What does a danger tree assessor look for?
A danger tree assessor evaluates each tree for structural defects: root decay, basal wounds, trunk cavities, crown failure, lean beyond normal growth, and proximity to targets like roads or worksites. We follow the tree hazard assessment methodology recognized under BC and Alberta WorkSafeBC and OHS requirements, and we document findings so your safety program and site supervisor have a clear record.
