Discover a Career in Arboriculture!

You can talk it up all you want. Most companies, profitable companies, start honest and eventually realize they need to only find ways to make it as least cost effective as possible to the customer. The worst kind of pruning without actually completely hacking a tree for the most ridiculous prices. Lions tailing, heading cuts, almost no correct pruning because that means getting to the tips. Time is money. Make every job as hasty as possible. That’s the real tree industry.

Awesome.
How much do they pay?
I think I want to do this if my current job lays me off soon because I am a lab tech at a coal burning power plant (one of the cleanest in the world because of our technology), and they are planning on replacing coal with wind and solar in Illinois. (Just to share, as a lover of nature, I applaud that move it is truly done in righteous concern for the planet and its people.)
I climbed cell phone towers for 6 months, I have climbing and rigging experience, so I reckon I’d be pretty decent at this job if the good Lord is willing.

Thanks for the video. I think I really want to live in BC. I love the forest and the mountains and the society seems to be more benevolent.

I am the founder of a small family-owned arboristic firm in Ukraine. Behind him is the first collection of climbers (not every climber is an arborist!) Of the country and the experience of treating many historical trees 200-400-600 years old and more. We can talk about real arboristics and not a high-rise cutting, working with a chainsaw
