A Tree Trimmer climbs trees to reach branches interfering with electric lines while using climbing equipment. A Tree Trimmer must have knowledge of chainsaw safety, and roping and rigging techniques. A Tree Trimmer also operates chain saws, pruners, brush chipper and may be called upon to operate an aerial lift device (bucket truck.) A skilled Tree Climber/Trimmer should have at least six months' verifiable experience in a utility line clearance and/or residential tree clearance setting.
