Background
Arborists are tree care specialists who assess, maintain, and treat trees in parks, gardens, streets, and forests. They climb trees, prune branches, remove dead wood, treat diseases, and sometimes fell trees safely. They use specialist equipment like chainsaws, ropes, and harnesses to work at height while keeping people and property safe.
