The course begins with an introduction to arboriculture – what it is, its subfields, and the importance of safe work practices within arboriculture.
You’ll explore soil and its significance within the context of arboriculture, different tree characteristics and how the names of trees and plant species are chosen. We’ll look at the considerations to be made when installing trees, both mature and sapling, learn about tree structure, and explore the steps carried out in onsite tree risk analysis.
We’ll discuss pruning types and techniques and UK trees – their protection and the different types of fungal and bacterial diseases affecting them.
Finally, the course covers the definition and scope of urban forestry.
