Re: Individual countries policy on tree care Eric's quite right, and the electrician analogy is a good one.....the explaination (for me) as to why our industry and profession is in such a weakened position stems from the history of its evolution. It has taken over 10yrs for our own state government to even begin to push compliance to standards of WH&S (OH&S for other places!) in the tree industry.
To answer your question in Oz the best approach is to contact the local authority (Council) and enquire as to the local/regional vegetation laws.
