>>885547It's not quite preservation but I'm an apprentice arborist. The job kicks ass. You get to be macho, climb trees, work hard, and get rained on all winter.
It only pays well in certain regions but there's something great to be said about running a saw in a tree 100 feet off the ground.
A lot of the power bosses in the Northwest have some kind of environmental science degree and they basically manage which trees get trimmed.
