[Closed] Becoming a tree surgeon

A friend of mine set up on his own about 5 years ago. I started giving him a hand the odd day here and there, now I generally work with him one or two days a week felling, snedding, chipping splitting etc.

Just the two of you? I've thought that'd be work for tree fellers...

A friend of mine started off as a tree officer, did her courses, spent a few years climbing and moved into teaching at an arboricultural college, more exams, moved into consultancy then set up on her consultancy working for big money developers, then worked for MOD managing their trees over a bunch of army camps in south of england, then took over their groundcare management as well, then got tired of management and HR rather than being outside. Now back to being a tree officer again! And sorting her back out after years of abuse.

So loads of directions to go if you feel like it, depending on how restless you are and how much you want to learn.
