ARA provides systematic identification and evaluation of tree-related hazards across landscapes including municipal infrastructure, parks, roadways, and forest environments.

Through arboriculture expertise and structured risk evaluation, ARA identifies trees that may present safety risks due to structural defects, decay, instability, or environmental stress.

ARA assessments help land managers and municipalities clearly understand existing risks and prioritize mitigation where it is most needed.

ARA-MX focuses on targeted mitigation of identified hazards through professional tree removal, structural pruning, and hazard reduction.

Mitigation work is carried out with the objective of eliminating or reducing tree-related risks while maintaining the long-term stability and resilience of the surrounding landscape.

ARA-MX is commonly applied to:

• municipal parks and infrastructure corridors

• roadside hazard trees

• recreational areas and public spaces

• forest edges and managed landscapes

ARA-360 provides long-term monitoring and risk management designed to maintain safe and resilient landscapes following mitigation work.

Landscapes change over time as trees grow, decay, and respond to environmental conditions. ARA-360 provides periodic reassessment to ensure previously mitigated areas continue to remain safe and stable.

This ongoing oversight supports municipalities, land managers, and infrastructure operators in maintaining responsible long-term risk management.

ARA-FP Arboreal Risk — Fire Prevention

ARA-FP focuses on proactive forest thinning and fuel reduction designed to reduce wildfire intensity and improve suppression conditions before fires occur.

This work improves stand structure and reduces hazardous fuel conditions while identifying structurally compromised trees that may contribute to wildfire risk.

Typical ARA-FP work includes:

• forest thinning and stand density reduction

• ladder fuel removal

• crown spacing to reduce crown fire potential

• removal of dead standing timber and unstable trees

• fuel break development and corridor protection

ARA-FP projects support wildfire resilience in areas such as:

• rural municipalities

• community wildfire interface zones

• provincial parks and recreational areas

• infrastructure corridors and access routes

ARA-FO provides rapid hazard tree mitigation in support of active wildfire suppression operations.

Wildfire environments frequently contain structurally compromised trees that can fall without warning, threatening crews, equipment, and operational access routes.

ARA-FO teams bring arboriculture expertise into wildfire environments, identifying and mitigating trees that present strike hazards to suppression personnel.

Typical ARA-FO work includes:

• hazard tree identification and mitigation

• falling strike-class trees along firelines

• clearing operational safety corridors

• mitigation around sprinkler protection systems

• removal of structurally compromised trees threatening crews

ARA-FO teams operate in coordination with incident command, division supervisors, and safety officers to support safe and efficient wildfire suppression operations.
