What is Arboriculture?

Arboriculture is the science of cultivating trees from the seed to the grave.
 
What is an Arborist?

Arborists are the professionals who practice arboriculture; combining physical skills and technical knowledge to carefully select, plant and nurture trees. Arborists specialise in all forms of tree work, including tree planting, tree pruning, tree climbing, transplanting, tree removal and treating tree health disorders.
