Tree Worker careers

Their duties include pruning branches, removing dead or dangerous trees, planting new trees, and diagnosing tree health problems. They often work at heights using ropes, harnesses, and elevated platforms, and operate chainsaws, wood chippers, and other machinery.

The role requires physical strength, attention to safety protocols, and knowledge of tree species and growth patterns. Tree Workers often collaborate with councils, landscaping firms, or utility companies to manage vegetation around infrastructure and public spaces.
