June 16th is National Arborist Appreciation Day!
The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) is pleased to celebrate National Arborist Appreciation Day on June 16th!Arborist Appreciation Day is a time to acknowledge all the important things that arborists do in their work and the sacrifices they make. It’s a dangerous job and the people who dedicate their lives to it often get unnoticed because not everyone knows or appreciates how risky and how vitally important their work is.
Today, we salute all the hard-working arborists across the country and their efforts to manage the growth and development of trees healthy and to keep communities safe!
In recognition of arborists everywhere, TCIA is offering a FREE Introduction to Arboriculture Safety Course for people exploring, or new to a career in Arboriculture. This course also makes a great recruiting tool for tree care companies and a foundational guide for new employees. Check it out at freecourses.tcia.org.Every day, arborists keep trees healthy and thriving. Arborists ensure the health and longevity of trees. It’s physically demanding work and can also be dangerous.
Arborist Appreciation Day was started to make sure these trained specialists get the recognition they deserve. Arborists are the professionals who care for trees and for removing them when they pose some sort of risk. They look after trees in forests and public parks, as well as those on private property. It’s impossible to achieve a successful approach to health and safety without their work because, in certain situations, trees can be a genuine danger.
Arborists work tirelessly to make sure trees don’t cause unnecessary harm because of heavy storms or other natural disasters.Tree care work is one of the most dangerous careers and professional arborists put themselves at risk on hazardous trees, especially during storm work. Many tree care workers can be seriously injured and, in some cases, killed while doing this important work. They’re true public servants, but without the recognition often given to the emergency services.
