Arboriculture

Arboriculture is a specialised field involving pruning, felling, transplanting and maintaining the health of trees. Arborists, sometimes known as tree surgeons, are people who care for and maintain trees and shrubs. If you enjoy the outdoors and are not scared of heights, this might well be the field of study for you.
