For the professional arborist, gear isn't just about getting the job done—it's about safety, efficiency, and comfort in harsh conditions. If you're buying for a tree surgeon or forestry pro this Christmas, skip the novelty socks and get them kit they’ll actually use on the job.
Here is our curated selection of top-tier equipment from ForestAndArb for the 2025 season.
