Vegetation Assessments

Sure Shot Environmental’s Utility Consulting Division maintains, on average, 15 to 20 consultants (also referred to as Vegetation Assessors or Patrol/Consenters). This group of professionals are at the forefront of any vegetation management program.

A patrol is completed to determine type and amount of vegetation present and what operations – trim, slash, hazard tree removal or herbicide – is best suited to maintain the vegetation on each parcel of land considering factors such as cost efficiencies, accessibility, and long term sustainability. They are then tasked with being the liaison between the landowner and our client to acquire permission to complete the desired vegetation control.

Many of our consultants come from forestry backgrounds; however, this profession is also suited for individuals with environmental and/or reclamation experience. Our consultants also provide other services to our clients including quality, productivity and safety audits for vegetation control contractors as well as project management.

​

Our consultants are equipped with a vehicle best suited for their work areas including sport utility vehicles or pickup trucks, some of which are equipped with sled decks or UTV trailers if cross-country access is necessary. Additional equipment includes rangefinders, laptops, GPS capabilities, fire equipment, and other various safety equipment.
