Arborists assess, maintain and care for trees. They examine trees to determine their condition and plan and carry out treatment. This might involve lopping limbs, shaping branches, removing diseased or dead trees and using fertilisers.

They propagate and plant trees using their knowledge of tree species and the local environment, to identify what trees will thrive in the surroundings.

The Certificate II in Arboriculture covers both ground-based arboriculture and that carried out at heights. It includes workplace health and safety protocols, equipment use and maintenance.
