Learning to be an Arborist

How to Become an Arborist

An arborist is a professional who cultivates and cares for trees. They work all over the United States and are responsible for the overall health of plants. The job requires physical exertion, varying weather conditions, and a high level of stamina.

Arborists are required to wear protective gear when using power equipment, pruning, or climbing. They can also be exposed to pesticides and other contaminants.

To become an arborist, you’ll need to obtain a license from the state in which you intend to work. For example, you’ll need a license from the state of Connecticut, where the average salary for an arborist is $41,881 per year. You’ll also need to take a certification exam and have at least three years of experience.

Employers

Most employers expect you to have a high school diploma, but some may require a two-year degree or higher. Those who have a bachelor’s degree have a higher chance of landing a more secure job.

Many employers offer benefits packages, including paid time off, health insurance, and 401(k) plans. Some employers even offer employee stock ownership options.

Duties

Those who want to specialize in tree diseases can take a special certification exam. This is an opportunity to polish your skills and gain an advantage in the competition for tree care jobs.

Typically, arborists are employed by landscape companies, utilities, or private landowners. However, they can also own their own business.

Becoming an arborist isn’t as difficult as it sounds. There are many resources available to help you get started. A certification from the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) can help make you more attractive to potential employers.
