Arboriculture is the care of trees and shrubs, particularly in urban settings.
An arborist is a professional who cares for trees and other woody plants by pruning, fertilizing, monitoring for insects and diseases, consulting on tree related issues, and occasionally planting, transplanting and removing trees. Search our member directory for an arborist in your area. Your local commercial tree firm is always looking for qualified, energetic arborists. Municipal governments, botanical gardens and arboretums also hire arborists to care for their valuable trees. Call one of these groups to inquire about an entry-level position.
