What does a frequent target zone indicate?

A frequent target zone indicates that the area is occupied for a large portion of the day. This concept is crucial in tree risk assessments as it helps in identifying areas where people or property may be at increased risk from tree-related hazards. When a target zone is frequently occupied, it highlights the significance of conducting thorough evaluations of nearby trees. A tree that poses a risk in such a zone requires careful monitoring and potentially remedial actions to mitigate the risk, as the likelihood of human interaction with the tree during its occupancy is higher. Understanding this helps assess risk more effectively, ensuring the safety of individuals who may be in the vicinity of the trees being evaluated.
