General Information


  • Workers spend all their time outdoors, sometimes in poor weather and often in isolated areas.
  • Most jobs are physically demanding and can be hazardous.
  • A small decline in overall employment is expected in the occupation.
  • Other occupations concerned with the care of trees and their environment include conservation scientists and foresters, forest and conservation technicians, and grounds maintenance workers. Logging equipment operators have skills similar to material-moving equipment operators, such as industrial truck and tractor operators and crane and tower operators.
