As a Qualified Arborist (Cert 3 Burnley University 2003) and Consulting Arborist (Diploma Fairfield Tafe 2009).
This foundation has given me a comprehensive knowledge of quantifying risk, implementing hazard mitigation and managing the longevity of urban forestry.
Specialising as a Contract Climber for 19yrs, I've been exposed to some of the most complex and dangerous scenarios imaginable. (Tree Needs website).
