Tree Work Is Not For the Amateur

摘要

Iam sure most regular readers of this publication are familiar with my articles on the various hazards associated with tree work. While there are certainly many more stories to write on the subject of safety (it would be hard to argue that you can have too much emphasis on safety), I thought this time I would focus on a class of arborists we often do not write about, the homeowner, aka, the amateur arborist. You might find this article provides some useful discussion points when faced with a homeowner deciding whether to hire a professional or do the work themselves.
