Tree Risk Management for Liverpool John Moores University Campus

Client: Liverpool John Moores University

Project Overview: Liverpool John Moores University required a comprehensive, professionally documented tree risk management programme covering all trees across their multiple campus sites in Liverpool and Merseyside — satisfying their duty of care obligations across a large institutional estate with significant student and public footfall.

Our Role: Urban Tree Management designed and delivered a campus-wide tree inspection and risk assessment programme — assessing all trees using VTA methodology and QTRA risk rating, recording all findings using GPS-enabled digital survey software, and producing georeferenced tree location plans and prioritised works schedules for every campus site.

Findings & Recommendations:

• Complete tree risk assessment delivered across all campus sites
• QTRA risk ratings assigned to all elevated-risk trees
• Prioritised works schedule produced for all recommended interventions
• Dataset structured for cyclical updating at future inspection cycles

Outcome: Liverpool John Moores University received a complete, professionally documented tree risk management dataset covering all campus sites — providing clear evidence of duty of care compliance and a prioritised works schedule satisfying the university's governance and insurance requirements.
