The Mature Tree Preservation Model
(MTPM)What is the Mature Tree Preservation Model?
Most arborists give you an opinion. Wyatt gives you a determination. The Mature Tree Preservation Model (MTPM) is a proprietary six-domain assessment framework that evaluates whether long-term tree retention is biologically sustainable and legally defensible. Every domain is documented, classified, and written to hold up in court, permit review, and deposition.
