== Overview == A person who practices or studies arboriculture can be termed an ''[[arborist]]'' or an ''arboriculturist''. A ''[[tree surgeon]]'' is more typically someone who is trained in the physical maintenance and manipulation of trees and therefore more a part of the arboriculture process rather than an arborist. [[Risk management]], legal issues, and [[aesthetic]] considerations have come to play prominent roles in the practice of arboriculture. Businesses often need to hire arboriculturists to complete "tree hazard surveys" and generally manage the trees on-site to fulfill [[occupational safety and health]] obligations.{{Cn|date=January 2021}} Arboriculture is primarily focused on individual woody plants and trees maintained for permanent [[landscape]] and [[amenity]] purposes, usually in gardens, [[park]]s or other populated settings, by arborists, for the enjoyment, protection, and benefit of people.{{Cn|date=January 2021}} Arboricultural matters are also considered to be within the practice of [[urban forestry]] yet the clear and separate divisions are not distinct or discreet.{{Cn|date=January 2021}}
