What is a characteristic of a Level 1 Limited Visual Assessment?

A Level 1 Limited Visual Assessment is characterized by a quick assessment across a large area. This type of inspection is designed to identify obvious signs of tree health or structural problems without delving into extensive detail. The goal is to rapidly evaluate the condition of multiple trees or a broader landscape to determine if further, more detailed assessments are necessary.

This approach is beneficial for managing large areas with many trees, where time and resources may be limited, allowing arborists to efficiently prioritize trees that may need closer examination. In contrast, other types of assessments involve a more focused evaluation or a detailed exploration of specific tree parts, which would not align with the characteristics of a Level 1 Limited Visual Assessment.
