Tree Health Assessments Tree Health Assessments – Safe Useful Life Expectance (SULE) provides information on the health of individual trees and gives guidance on any remedial action which may be required. This is a useful tool used by local and state governments to make informed decisions on which trees to retain based on their health but also ecological factors such as fauna habitat. With years of experience undertaking such assessments and a sound understanding of the management of trees within various zonings (including for bushfire protection) we offer advice for the retention of trees where possible and provide alternatives where trees cannot be retained.

Bush Regeneration and Ecosystem Rehabilitation Bush Regeneration and Ecosystem Rehabilitation is often required as an offset for the remaining bushland left on development sites. Workable solutions are what we provide as part of our Vegetation Management Plans and our experience implementing these plans on the ground to control weeds, stabilise soil and replant natives to restore ecosystems is important for the ecology of such sites. We have undertaken a large range of projects over the years in Bush Regeneration and Ecosystem Rehabilitation and this also involves provision of fauna habitat both through the use of native site materials and artificial nest boxes. Monitoring of progress of such works is critical to their success and monitoring of fauna recovery and use of nest boxes is also undertaken. Our techniques are innovative and get great results.
