 2.6.     DISCLOUSURE STATEMENT

2.6.1.    The information pertaining to the condition of the tree(s) and / or vegetation in question in this
          report covers only the tree(s) and / or vegetation that was examined and reflects the condition
          of the tree(s) and / or vegetation at the time of the inspection only, the information was
          gathered by a “Visual Tree Assessment (V.T.A.) / Evaluation” from ground level only; No
          aerial inspection or below ground surface inspection, dissection of plant parts, formal
          identification of pest and diseases or scientific testing of any kind was carried out; also the
          information gathered in this report is and has been believed to come from a reliable source.
          As an Arborist, I am a tree specialist and use my knowledge, training and experience to
          examine trees and / or vegetation, recommend measures to enhance their beauty and health,
          and to attempt to reduce the risk of living near trees and / or vegetation. As a client, you may
          disregard these recommendations, or seek additional advice.
          An Arborist cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to a tree or limb failure.
          Trees are living organisms that may fail in many ways we do not fully understand. Conditions
          are often hidden within the tree and below the ground. As an Arborist we cannot guarantee
          that a tree will be healthy or safe under any circumstances, or a specified period of time.
          Sometimes trees may appear “Healthy”, but may be structurally unsound. Likewise remedial
          treatment, like any medicine, cannot be guaranteed.
          Furthermore, certain trees are borderline cases as to whether they should remain or be
          removed. Also conditions change, and a tree may need further monitoring in the future to
          determine its health and structure. Of course the only really safe option is removal.
          Trees and / or vegetation can be managed, but they cannot be controlled, and to live near a
          tree(s) and / or vegetation is to accept some degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk
          is to remove all trees and / or vegetation.
          NOTE: Unless otherwise stated this report cannot be used within a court of law and or any
          legal situation without prior consent of Regional Arboricultural Services.
