Northern Tree Care is owned and operated by Peter Gray Dip. Hort (Arb), a qualified horticulturist and arborist who has worked in New South Wales Northern Rivers region, primarily in the Byron Shire, since the mid-1990s. Arborist Tree Surveys peter01Northern Tree Care conducts detailed tree surveys for a range of individual, corporate and government clients. These surveys typically involve the identifying, counting and mapping of different species of trees and, where required, detailed descriptions of a tree or trees’ general condition. On large landholdings, for instance, the identifying and mapping of rare or threatened species can determine preservation areas and/or otherwise influence land use. Northern Tree Care works with the GIS system, Arcpad, which permits them to identify and notarise, within two metres of accuracy, an individual tree’s location. Tree surveys thus serve to establish a data base and, where needed, to update it. This in-depth information can form the backbone of highly effective land and habitat management. Tree Surgery At Northern Tree Care, Peter Gray and his team of expert tree climbers specialise in attending to difficult or dangerous jobs. They can advise on or implement tree surgery. Their undertakings range from extensive tree clearing to the removal of trees from residential allotments. In all their hands-on operations, the Northern Tree Care team work with professional care and precision; their focus on safety reigns paramount. Peter Gray – Arborist Peter has shared his extensive knowledge and experience with many local students of arboriculture for the past 10 years through a part time teaching position at Wollongbar TAFE. His lifelong interest in trees, with their various horticultural and arboricultural needs, began at age eight when he took responsibility for cultivating and pruning a small section of Peach trees on his family’s stone fruit orchard. An understanding of trees and their requirements permeates Peter’s business practice, and in an increasingly complex world, this knowledge is constantly counterpoised against a range of trees’ apparently competing interests the most common being the safety and/or endeavours of human beings.
