HOW DOES A TREE CONSULTANT WORK?

  • By Kimberly Romero

A consultant arborist is a professional who advises on tree care. Consulting arborists are qualified and insured to provide advice on trees, tree care, and tree-related building.

A professional consulting arborist should be able to assist in tree decision-making by offering many options other than "remove or retain." In recent years, tree and urban forest management has progressed significantly. In many circumstances, whether you're a homeowner, developer, council, or other authority, you may negotiate a win-win solution that achieves your goals while also conserving trees and their numerous advantages.

What credentials should a consultant arborist possess?

Because the business is still expanding, arboricultural consultants' qualifications may differ. An AQF Level 5 (Diploma level) qualification in arboriculture is the standard qualification recognized by Councils, industry groups, and employers. This is thought to be the bare minimal requirement for beginning to provide consultant-level services. Even arborists with higher degrees (such as AQF8 arborists with a Graduate Diploma) should preferably have an AQF5, as it contains the large quantity of botanical, horticultural, soil, tree structure, and morphology material on which arborists must base their evaluations.

Consulting arboriculture is an applied science, which means that practitioners must be able to apply their knowledge (properly) to real-world settings in order to improve people's and trees' lives.

What is the difference between a consultant and a practicing or contracting arborist?

There is a significant amount of work for solely consulting arborists in Australia. Professionals also have an established culture of offering guidance independent of any tree removal or trimming activity. Many Sydney councils endorse this idea. It enables tree management decisions, such as tree removal, trimming, or other tree-related actions, to be balanced against the wider picture — the urban forest. Independent consultants, without a perceived or actual bias towards tree work, assess the specific situation and explore feasible alternatives before making a decision.

What can a consulting arborist do to assist you?

If you're still reading, you definitely have a specific tree issue in mind, or you're familiar with the industry and how complicated tree issues can be. Not only trees, but also local and state tree standards, Council requirements, neighbors, development (past, present, and future), legal, and planning difficulties can be involved. Multiple stakeholders with diverse and frequently conflicting priorities are sometimes present in situations.

Transplanting trees seem like an uncomplicated job, but the fact is many of them could die if the work is done incorrectly. Exposing roots to the air is not a pleasant experience for trees, and not all species survive the ordeal. However, if your landscape design calls the need to transfer a tree to a new location, you are likely to be successful if you know the proper methods.

Plants cannot show the same signs of sickness as animals and humans. They can't whine about body pains to let you know. So how can we tell when a tree is unwell When a tree is sick, it might develop sores on its bark or lean more to one side. Another sign is dead stems or branches that fall off the tree. If any of these symptoms occur, the tree you're looking at is possibly sick.

Pruning for tree health focuses on cutting off dead, diseased, and dying branches and branches that rub together. Pruning can also be used to nurture trees to develop a strong structure and lessen the likelihood of damage during harsh weather. Pruning for form can be incredibly essential on open-grown trees that do very little self-pruning.

The soil supports most living organisms, being the top source of their mineral nutrients. Good soil management guarantees that mineral elements do not become toxic or deficient to crops, plants, and trees. Soil management is essential to trees, environmental sustainability, productivity, and human health, so It’s crucial to know what’s happening beneath the ground. Cultivating the right soil type will make trees grow and live longer, even in urban locations with less room for them to thrive.
