Communications I

Communication remains an essential skill sought by employers, regardless of discipline or field of study. Using a practical, vocation-oriented approach, students focus on meeting the requirements of effective communication. Through a combination of lectures, exercises, and independent learning, students practise writing, speaking, reading, listening, locating and documenting information and using technology to communicate professionally. Students develop and strengthen communication skills that contribute to success in both educational and workplace environments.

Basic Tree Climbing

The ability to climb trees is one of the most important skills an arborist can possess. Students learn the skills to safely use specialized arborist equipment, such as climbing harnesses and ropes. Training includes pre-climb inspection of trees and equipment, techniques for ascending, descending, maneuvering within a tree's canopy and aerial rescue procedures. Students become proficient climbers through climbing demonstrations and applied practice.

Equipment Operations and Maintenance

The proper use and maintenance of specialized equipment increases productivity and significantly reduces the risks to Arborists in the workplace. In this course, you will learn tree felling techniques as well as chainsaw maintenance and safe methods to service brush chippers and chainsaws. You will work hands-on in the field, felling trees and operating a wood chipper, as well as practicing machinery maintenance in the lab. This course also exposes you to additional machinery and equipment that Arborists operate in the workplace such as stump grinders, winches, brush saws and cranes.

Advanced Tree Climbing

Students further hone their tree climbing abilities, while acquiring more advanced climbing systems and techniques. Always focusing on safety, students use equipment such as split tails, friction savers and re-directs. Students also gain experience pruning trees aloft using specialty hand tools. Demonstrations by instructors and rigorous continued practice further develop these skills.

Tree Entomology and Pathology

Now more than ever our urban trees are at risk from a multitude of insects and diseases. As tree care specialists, it is important to be aware of today's main forest threats, and to be able to manage them wherever possible. Students identify and discuss current insect and pathogen threats to our urban forests. Through classroom study and sample collections, students begin to develop an encyclopedic knowledge of these threats.

Dendrology

Recognizing tree species and their attributes are an essential skill for diagnosing and planning care. Classrooms and study labs develop strong identification skills, while field trips re-enforce the skill set in an authentic context. Students learn to identify approximately 150 tree and shrub specimens that are commonly found in Ontario's urban settings.

Tree Sciences and Practices

Applying the concepts and principles of the science behind trees is important when managing the health of trees. Students gain an overview of tree sciences such as anatomy and physiology. Focus is on urban soil conditions, tree installation and the impact nearby construction can have on trees. Students are exposed to the practices by which arborists select, plant and prune trees, as well as how to assess hazards posed by trees.

Arboriculture Practices

In an urban setting, Arborists are required to perform inspections and produce reports for a variety of client needs. As a well rounded arborist, common knowledge of tree wildlife is key when performing tree assessments. Arbortists have the authority to diagnose and advise on tree issues and problems. Arborists are furthermore qualified to assess trees and apply for tree removal permits. Many different scenarios exist where an Arborist is required to perform a consulting role. As experts in this field, we may be required to defend our diagnosis in a court of law and are considered "expert witnesses" in these cases. This course will allow you to perform some of these specialized assessments, and to make use of the data you collect.

Tree Removal

In an urban setting with overhead wires, proximity to buildings and tight spaces, tree removal is a complicated matter. Students develop action plans to perform these operations safely and without damage to property by applying the latest tree removal techniques. Through case studies, demonstrations and continuous practice, students build confidence and proficiency in this complicated task.

Urban Soils

The root system is undeniably the most important part of plants, yet rarely is any thought given to the conditions it endures. Students examine the differences between urban and natural soil types and methods of enriching urban soils to promote healthy root systems. The selection of appropriate tree species for specific sites is also discussed. Proper species selection is discussed as well. Through case studies and examples, students develop their knowledge of soil types and their root environment.

Tree Pruning Techniques

As with many art forms, pruning is founded in strong, science-based technique. It is often left up to the individual to make critical decisions, which could enhance or decrease the likelihood of a tree living a full lifespan. In this course, you will learn about how a tree reacts to pruning. Emphasis is placed on strategic planning, proper pruning cuts and techniques. Most time is spent in the field practicing result-specific pruning techniques such as structural pruning, aesthetic pruning, crown thinning, clearance pruning, pruning for fruit production, etc. This course will equip you with the knowledge and expertise to make those critical decisions with confidence.
