Local authorities and public managers
Parks, avenues of trees, schoolyards, cemeteries, roadsides: a municipality's trees are a living heritage, but also a responsibility. Arboriste & Co supports municipalities, inter-municipal bodies, and public space managers with independent assessments and quantified risk evaluations, enabling them to make informed decisions, prioritize, and plan with complete peace of mind.
What we offer local authorities
Tree heritage assessment — Tree-by-tree inspection, health assessment and biomechanical analysis according to the VTA method, prioritized recommendations. Each tree is located and identified to facilitate the work of the technical services.
Quantified risk assessment Trees located near schools, playgrounds, roads, and gathering places are assessed using the QTRA (Quantified Tree Risk Assessment) method. The risk is quantified and compared to recognized thresholds: an objective result that you can present to elected officials, users, or your insurer. Anthony Jamet is a registered QTRA user under number 11171.
Multi-year management plan — Interventions are prioritized and distributed over time, to concentrate resources where they are useful and to prepare budgets from one year to the next.
Tree monitoring — The checks are recorded in our application, and the recommendations evolve with the trees, year after year. Learn more about the tree monitoring.
Landscaping and planting projects — Protection of existing trees during the works, tree value And compensation, choice of species and planting conditions for renew the heritage.
Why an independent firm?
Our firm does not carry out any work. Our recommendations are therefore not influenced by any commercial interest: you are free to award your pruning, felling or planting contracts, and we can then verify that the work has been carried out in accordance with the report.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should all the trees in the municipality be diagnosed at once? — No. It is often more sensible to start with high-stakes areas, such as the areas around schools, playgrounds or busy roads, and then gradually expand the approach.
What is the purpose of the report in the event of a tree falling? — It documents the condition of the trees and the measures recommended at a given date. It thus makes it possible to show that the heritage is subject to careful and monitored management.
