Tree Faller careers

A Tree Faller cuts down trees and prepares logs for transport in forestry, land clearing or environmental work. You’ll use chainsaws or other tools to fell trees, trim branches and cut logs, following safety and environmental guidelines.

Tree Fallers are vital to timber production and land management. You’ll need strength, precision and good judgement to work safely outdoors, adapt to conditions and meet strict safety standards.
