During the interview, Dr. Caroline LAW shared her view on the increasing demand for arborists and tree risk assessors throughout the last decade. Some fatal tree falls onto public streets in the past year raised concerns of the property owners. They have to consider the consequences of defect trees within their premises. In order to cope with the demand of arboricultural professionals, THEi offers a degree programme in Horticulture and Landscape Management starting from 2015.
