Arboriculture

A team of Arborists maintains over 3,500 trees at Longwood. The crew is responsible for the pruning, cabling and bracing, and removal of large and small trees. In addition to tree care, they also install and remove Christmas lights in the outdoor trees, which involves nearly four months of work.

All of Longwood's Arborists are certified through the International Society of Arboriculture, and follow American National Standards Institution (ANSI) standards for safety and the care of trees.
