Tree Surgeons carry out tree work including planting, cutting down, maintenance and hazard assessments, sometimes with heavy equipment. Ground Workers make sure a site is safe by keeping people and vehicles away, and assist Tree Surgeons by passing tools, refuelling chainsaws and clearing away dead branches and debris.
Tree surgery is often performed to improve the health of a tree, to improve its appearance or for safety reasons. A Tree Surgeon will have knowledge of trees as living organisms and understand when, how and why specialist care is needed.
Tree surgeons work in towns and the countryside, assessing tree health, removing branches, planting new stock and felling unsafe trees.
