Arborist as a Career in Australia
Being an Arborist is a special job and hence it needs
certain qualifications. Only a well-trained arborist knows about each
species of trees, plants or shrubs and how to maintain them. There are
many schools and institutions that provide such training. To be an
arborist is a good career choice especially if you are a nature buff.
Have you ever imagined what the view would be like from the tallest
tree in the neighborhood? Or wondered what the surroundings look like.
I’m sure you’re thinking about it now, an Ariel view from the tree top.
Job Description and Responsibilities
Arborists are often referred to as tree doctors, tree
surgeon and Climbers. They tend to trees, plant and shrubs and examine
them for any issues related to structure, nutrition and disease. They
evaluate damage or decay just by looking at the color and texture of
the tree. If any infection, damage or decay is found, samples will be
sent to the lab for complete examination.
Arborists prune and trim trees and shrubs, including
removing dead branches. Sometimes living branches that are obstructions
will be removed. These activities involve climbing tress. Special gear
is worn while climbing trees. Mechanical lifts are also being employed
for this purpose. As a safety precaution, it is important that
Arborists wear safety gear which includes a helmet and gloves, and show
extreme care when working with saws, clippers, shears and any other
such tools. Generally, there are two kinds of arborist. The purist,
involved more in gardens and tree pruning for aesthetic purposes, or
practical arborists who work on power lines (often called ‘linies’),
infrastructure etc.
