Arboricultural Consultant Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently reviewed a site plan for a large urban redevelopment and spotted a risk hotspot in the south-east corner that could impact the timeline. My approach in the last year has been to document tree health and risk with clear, actionable recommendations. At [Previous Company], I used a practical mix of field notes and GIS to guide decisions, and the project aligned with environmental rules while keeping trees central to the design. This is the kind of work I’d bring to [Company Name]. My core strengths are tree health assessment, risk assessment, and site planning for urban environments. I work with planners, landscape architects and ecologists to integrate tree management into design. I’m comfortable with tree inventories, surveys and selecting species suited to site constraints and local climate. I focus on pragmatic planning that respects regulation and maintains canopy cover where possible. A notable example involved a mid-sized council project where I led a risk assessment on hundreds of street trees and prepared a management plan that balanced safety with heritage value. I coordinated with a design team to adjust street alignments and prune targets, and the final plan significantly improved safety outcomes while preserving key trees. The work involved clear reporting, stakeholder updates and practical pruning and removal recommendations. I’m keen to discuss how my hands-on approach and collaborative style can support your team. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and happy to provide further detail on relevant projects. Kind regards, [Your Name]
