What Does a City Arborist Do?
Our ISA-Certified Tree Specialists Explain
Proper tree care is critical to protecting the aesthetic appeal, safety and value of your city’s beautiful green spaces. Trained in the art and science of tree management, an arborist performs a range of services, from planting and pruning to insect treatments, landscaping plans and removal permits for land development projects. At the municipal level, arborists inspect, evaluate and maintain all trees on city property and enforce current arboricultural rules. Let us take a closer look at what city arborists do.
City or Municipal Arborist Services
All city trees are protected by local bylaws. Tree preservation and enforcement of proper arboreal practices are among the two most important responsibilities of arborists working with the municipal government. Most tasks they perform fall within these two categories and include:
Enforcing local tree preservation regulations
Reviewing arborist’s reports
Evaluating tree removal permits
Assessing and preparing landscaping plans
Assisting with tree identification and diagnosis
Preparing municipal tree care budgets
Inspecting sites to ensure compliance with city regulations
Calculating fees for tree-cutting permits and landscape plans
Providing city planners with landscape design assistance for public improvement projects
Making recommendations and decisions regarding landscape-related risk and design
Responding to inquiries about trees on city property
ISA-certification distinguishes tree care professionals for their extensive knowledge and experience, an important requirement for municipal arborists. They may enlist the assistance of certified local tree specialists to carry out their work.
