Services

Rural Forest Health Practitioners diagnose, treat and provide forestry prescriptions for trees and wooded stands. 

Treatment

Restoration and maintenance of a tree ecosystem yields the most significant health improvements for trees and wooded stands.  

Forest health practitioners can provide professional treatment services upon request. However, accurate diagnosis  combined with applied ecology measures undertaken by the property owner, often reduces the need for professional treatments such as foliage sprays or systemic trunk injections. Even if professional treatments are recommended,  the property owner's applied ecology measures often improve the treatment's effectiveness. 


'What's wrong with my trees and can I fix them myself?'  

Human interaction is a part of the forest ecosystem. Property owners actively involved with  tree ecosystem care are often rewarded with the most significant health improvements of their trees and wooded stands. 


Consulting

A forest health practitioner's services are essential for the restoration and preservation of forest ecosystems in communities.  

Veterinarians  serve a vital role within rural communities as medical consultants for animal health. 

Forest health practitioners  provide a similar role within communities.  Just as veterinary services are essential to the economic welfare of many communities, the value of services provided by forest health practitioners are similar. Both professions utilize a common medical model of diagnosis and treatment, provide prescriptions and advise their clients with knowledge to improve the health and vitality of non-human organisms.
