Tree Manager training

Tree Manager training to gain even more knowledge

 

Well, I started studying again and started the Tree Manager course. And in the meantime, as a small update for September 2022, I also graduated with distinction.

This training is the ideal, but difficult, preparation for the ETT exam (European Tree Technician).

The course requires quite a bit of prior knowledge and experience, and focuses mainly on urban areas tree management. There the growing places of trees in the city are very specific and require additional knowledge to manage them properly.

With the help of urban greenery and especially by increasing the number of future trees in the city, the city is made more livable for people and society.

An “urban forest” reduces, among other things, the heat island effect. A city with a large “canopy cover” or crown cover by trees warms up less quickly. The urban forest provides shade on hot days and increases social contact because people come together underneath.

And if the Tree Manager is a good one has designed an underground growing area, it provides storm water storage. So that there are fewer floods, because the water does not flow immediately to the sewerage system. And the tree gets enough water to its root ball, so that it can brave the heat for a while again.

The subject areas in the Tree Manager training go beyond just Urban Forestry.

Inventory techniques and data processing, communication and growth site research (biotics and abiotics) are also discussed in detail. We also delve deeply into the anatomy and physiology of trees, civil engineering, expertise and site organization. In addition tree protection on yards and the drawing up a tree protection plan one of the many expertise assignments.
