Tree pruning workers remove unnecessary branches from standing trees as part of silviculture in forests, shaping trees and promoting growth. They climb trees using safety harnesses and ropes for high-altitude work, and precisely cut branches at the correct positions with chainsaws or saws. After work, they organize and transport the branches, ensuring surrounding safety. This improves the efficiency of silviculture and logging operations, contributing to the quality improvement of forest resources.
