Tree Appraisal Techniques

Date: February 13, 2020 - February 14, 2020
Location: Clackamas Community College, Environmental Learning Center, Oregon City, Oregon, UNITED STATES
Organizer: Pacific Northwest Chapter of ISA
Sponsor: Pacific Northwest Chapter of ISA
Description: Working within the context of the 10th Edition of the Guide for Plant Appraisal, this two day workshop gives an overview of the appraisal process and provides an opportunity to practice in the field. Participants will review common mistakes and refine their craft as appraising arborists. Participants will learn about key changes from the 9th to the 10th edition and apply the techniques in the field and in case studies.

The first portion of the workshop is a lecture that discusses the primary components of the Trunk Formula Technique (TFT) and a short history of the changes made from the 9th Edition to the 10th Edition. Participants then divide into groups and appraise several trees using TFT. The class will reconvene and discuss the results.

The second day begins with an explanation of the concept of anchoring and how to evaluate the reliability, accuracy, and precision of data points. It explores methods of appraising partial loss, diminution of market value, percentage contribution, and net present value. Next, participants have an opportunity to reconcile different possible methods as they are applied to a given assignment. Participants, through a series of case studies, practice using the different appraisal methods and defending their conclusions.
