Today, the profession of climbing arborist has found its rightful place in the field of ornamental arboriculture, as it combines high technical expertise, in-depth knowledge of trees, and excellent physical condition to successfully carry out, with respect for the plant, all the monitoring and maintenance tasks of the arboreal heritage in both urban and rural settings.
Through this work, the three authors, Alain, Christian and Fabrice, remind us or introduce us to the knowledge and technologies that have developed and been refined over the past twenty years. They have brought together both their own experiences and the techniques that make them references in the profession and for the many trainees they have trained.
To achieve their goal of providing everyone with the most reliable and up-to-date information, they have reached out to the most informed and recognized professionals in the various disciplines related to the arborist's profession: safety experts, ergonomists, designers, manufacturers, practitioners...
Different people, but who, like them, want to share their knowledge and technical expertise to show that being a climbing arborist requires a great deal of skill, respect for the environment, and a high level of awareness regarding safety and risk prevention.
Each part of the work has been reviewed, amended and corrected by specialists. The chapters dealing with the arborist's health have been entirely written by healthcare professionals. It is worthwhile reading the acknowledgements pages to appreciate the collaborative effort that went into the creation of this book.
The sense of sharing that emerges here is indeed one of the characteristics that define the mindset in which all friends of the tree operate, from the associative sector to the business world. Learning, progressing technically and exchanging ideas allows one to practice a fascinating profession, in accordance with best practices, while remaining humble and respectful of the tree.
This profession is physically demanding, and being a true professional means being aware of the risks and mindful of taking care of oneself!
