Wildlife
Danger Tree Assessor’s Courses
Three modules of the Wildlife/Danger Tree Assessor's Course currently
exist. Each course is 2 days in length, involving a mix of classroom and
field exercises, and qualifying exams. All course modules are
complementary to one another, consequently persons can upgrade between
modules by completing a 1-day upgrade with a qualifying written exam for
that particular module. Further information about course pre-requisites
and registration can be found at the University
of Northern B.C. or Malaspina
University College websites.
