"It's a dangerous gig," says radio personality Lori Moore of WKZO in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Following a 2012 occupational tree care accident report released by TCIA earlier this month, Moore interviewed Peter Gerstenberger, TCIA’s Sr. Advisor for Safety, Standards & Compliance about the dangers of tree work. The conversation, and the report, noted that out of 128 occupational tree care accidents reported by the media in 2012, 84 were fatal. Listen to the January 25 interview here.
