Most of these people do not even know what the term arborist implies. A tree cutter is usually applied to a person who takes trees down. It takes a lot of skill and nerve removing trees near homes. These brave workers lay trees down in areas that can be quite small when compared to the size or the trees being removed. But they are not trained in tree preservation skills found in an arborist.
Foresters are concerned with growing trees for timber production.
Loggers are the workers who come in to take the trees down so they can be taken to saw or pulp mills. They too are not concerned with tree preservation. The arborist is the most skilled person trained in tree preservation. A person wishing to keep their trees is best served by a person trained in arboriculture. The word arbor means tree and culture means civilization.
