A career in arboriculture is best suited for those interested in the care and study of
trees. An interest is necessary in working outdoors in a physically challenging
environment with a good head for heights whilst keeping fit and learning new
challenges in a continually changing environment – as every tree is unique in its own
right.
Arborists manage trees, hedgerows and shrubs. The work is undertaken in both rural
and urban settings and includes all aspects of felling, pruning, thinning, rigging, section
felling, preserving, planting and protecting trees, sometimes using heavy equipment.
They also provide information and advice on specific tree-related issues. There is an
increasing focus on maintaining a safe relationship between the trees, their immediate
environment and the general public.
The role of the Arborist is to carry out any required arboriculture works in a correct
manner that meets the objectives in its environment and to industry standards. The
arborist should possess the skills that enable him/her to carry out such work in a
manner that doesn’t put them, their crew, or the general public at risk nor cause
damage to existing structures, whilst meeting required standards.
