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)
Conservation ring-barking may seem like an oxymoron, but it's important to remove this fast-growing competition from the ancient oak pollards on the nature reserve. Ring-barking the birch (Betula pendula) rather than felling it provides standing deadwood, which is great habitat for all manner of small beasties! www.lastingspring.co.uk
This is Oli&Tom, two Englishmen that works as arborists in Sweden. I noticed Oli climbing a tree at the nature reserve Gullringskärret this afternoon, and decided to see what was going on.

This is one of the chainsaws that I own.
One of the most innovative chainsaws during the 1980's was Stihl Andreas Maschinenfabrik’s Model 076 AV. The type of its magneto is electronic and the engine displacement of this chainsaw is 111 cubic centimetres. This is also beneficial for chainsaw users since it was created with an anti-vibration handlebar system. The engine of this gadget also has a large container for fuel, which is 1.2 litres.

Astonishing hard work, cutting a big tree down, bit by bit. This tree in the garden next door is taking four men a day and a half to cut down and clear away.
One must wonder if he will go to the gym tonight for a workout, or if this is enough for his daily exercise.
The big bonus is that we got a nice big load of logs to take to the cottage for free. And splitting the logs will be enough exercise for me for weeks...
