Mark Jones Treee Surgery Ltd. Qualified Tree Surgeons Polarding a large willow tree and disposing of waste using a wood chipper

Tree Surgeons.

This old fir tree believed to be around 120 years old was causing problems for the nearby buildings ( the root system ) plus it was going rotten on the inside. It was the second large tree in this garden that had been cut down. It’s hard work and you really need to be agile and young.

A tree surgeon carries out all kinds of tree work including planting, care and maintenance and tree hazard assessments. Tree surgeons are also known as tree climbers or arborists. As a tree surgeon, you would need to be physically fit and have a head for heights. If you are interested in conservation and the environment, and you would like a practical job working outside, this job could be for you.

To get into this type of work you will need to be trained in using equipment such as chainsaws, ropes, ladders and harnesses. Many people move into this job after getting experience as a ground worker or helping tree surgeons. You may also be able to get into this job through an Apprenticeship in Trees and Timber.​

As a tree surgeon or tree climber, your work really begins once you have climbed into the tree. Your duties will include:

Inspections to assess the health of trees, street or park tree pruning and branch removals, felling, planting, hazard assessment and diagnosis and pest control.

Your duties may also involve other tasks such as snow removal to take the weight off branches. You will usually work from a rope and harness, or you might use elevated work platforms known as cherry-pickers.​ People able to care for your trees are generally either consultants (tree advisors or arboriculture) or contractors (tree surgeons or arborists)

George Lewis was killed by being struck by the branch that he was sawing from a tree.

 

Tradition has it that this happened because he was working on a Sunday....

 

I've uploaded this for all those people, like me, who are feeling guilty because they should have been working today, instead of lazing around. It might have been for the best after all........

 

The only slight problem is that 17 December 1830 was actually a Friday !

(but we'll keep quiet about that !)

 

:o)

I saw this chap working up the tree. I got out my camera, I switched it on, I composed the shot, and just as I was about to press the button ... the great branch crashed to the ground!

So all I got was this :-(

Act natural then lads

The most powerful of Athel Loren's spirits are able to entwine their essence with that of a living tree, moulding it to their will. It is not a decision taken lightly, for when a spirit forms a bond with a living tree, they become irrevocably merged and cannot choose to leave - only death can sever the connection. From that moment on, the will of the spirit shapes and drives the tree, using knotted bark and gnarled branches to serve where an insubstantial spirit form cannot. Thus is a Treeman born. Certain to be counted amongst the mightiest of Athel Loren's denizens, his gnarled form is almost impervious to harm, and his strength a near-match for the Dragons of the deep glades. Treemen do not fight with grace or finesse, but with huge sweeping blows that strike home with enough force to shatter stone. They can stomp their knurled feet into the ground, knocking foes down, or even send writhing roots to drag foes deep underground where their tendrils can feast upon the flesh and bone.

The "tree gang" at work on a neighbour's tree. A pity the Council forgot to tell them to remove the tree that is demolishing our back fence!

The Great Cedar at Painshill receiving some tlc from tree surgeons.

An orange hard hat is visible to the right hand side of the gap between the two higher parts of the tree.

Using a very approximate measuring method the tree is at least 190' high, probably higher so a great view to be had from the top
