TREE FALLER

You’re an adrenaline junkie, you ‘do it for the thrill’, and danger is your middle name. Your forestry job is like every action-packed phrase and that’s exactly why you do it. As a Tree Faller, you’re part of forestry’s extreme team that eliminates pine beetle trees, helps control fires, and does low impact harvesting through precision cutting of trees. Your tools are axes, chainsaws and your hands as you fell trees using knowledge of tree characteristics and cutting techniques. Although tree falling is physically demanding, it’s also taxing on your brain. You have to keep physics in mind during high-stress periods because it’s your responsibility to be precise as to where your trees fall to minimize danger and damage.
