I'm very new to the industry and have heard a multitude of concerns regarding arborists not being appreciated, understood or even hired over someone with a truck and chain saw.
There is a great deal to understand with regards to biology and tree care. But how can one simply state some key points to know BEFORE a homeowner hires an arborist?
What is the biggest misperception about the arboriculture industry?
If encouraging recreational tree climbing would encourage tree education and appreciation by experiencing trees (as long as they used safe, rope-assisted methods with qualified facilitators who know which trees should be climbed and which trees should not) in the longterm, wouldn't this experience have a positive impact on appreciating what is all around us that we take for granted?
