Workshops and skill days
Hands-on sessions covering climbing systems, equipment handling, pruning technique, and safer routines for complex field conditions.
Programs
Programs and activities that keep arborists learning in practice
SAF organizes activities that connect technical development, professional exchange, and on-the-ground learning for arborists working across Sweden.
Activities
Current program areas
Each activity area is intended to strengthen field judgment, practical technique, and collaboration across the wider arboriculture community.
Technical exchange forums
Structured knowledge-sharing formats where members compare methods, discuss standards, and learn from real project experience.
Regional member gatherings
Meetups that help arborists build stronger local connections while staying linked to the federation's national perspective.
Urban tree stewardship sessions
Programs focused on inspection, planning, and long-term care for trees in streetscapes, parks, campuses, and shared public settings.
How SAF Works
Activities designed for continuing professional growth
Rather than separating learning from practice, SAF's activities are built around the day-to-day realities of arborist work. Programs emphasize practical application, peer discussion, and the transfer of knowledge that members can use immediately in their own environments.
- Practical learning grounded in field conditions.
- Opportunities for members to compare methods and equipment use.
- Cross-regional exchange that broadens professional perspective.
- Support for stronger standards in safety and tree stewardship.
