Wildlife Danger Tree Assessor's Courses

The Wildlife Tree Committee is responsible for coordinating and developing Wildlife/Danger Tree Assessor’s courses for the province. The courses are delivered through the University of Northern B.C. (UNBC). Each is a two-day course that includes a mix of classroom and field exercises, and qualifying exams.

• The Course Administrative Standards are currently being revised for 2019 and will be posted here when revisions are complete.

Each course module complements the others. Once you have completed one full module, you can add another by completing a 1-day upgrade with a qualifying written exam.
