  Forestry is the science and practice of managing forests and woodlands so I would say to some extent yes. Tree surgeons need to be able to identify diseased and damaged trees as well as understand how removing them or parts of them will affect that habitat. To do it you must be interested in protecting and managing the environment 🙂 Plus not scared of heights!
