Trail is a recreational trail (LOD-1) under the OLA and WDTAC; defendant assessor's March 2018 visual inspection was reasonable under WDTAC and the assessor legitimately concluded the Incident Tree was not a danger (leaning away); absence of contemporaneous documentation of a tree assessed as non-dangerous does not constitute reckless disregard under s.3(3)(b) OLA; core-policy immunity bars challenges to resource allocation but does not shield operational failures; on balance plaintiffs did not prove defendants acted with reckless disregard, therefore defendants not liable.
