Arboriculture Co-op

As an Arboriculture graduate, you’ll maintain and preserve trees and shrubs in the urban landscape and green spaces of our communities providing cleaner air and much needed “green” relief from the concrete jungle. The program offers theoretical knowledge for all aspects of urban tree care, as well as such practical skills as safe tree climbing techniques, aerial rescue, pruning techniques, tree removal, power line clearing, and the operation and maintenance of relevant equipment.

You will be able to identify approximately 140 species of trees and shrubs in both summer and winter conditions, and to diagnose and remedy major pests, disease, and tree disorders using the latest integrated management options to promote plant health. — Fleming College
