This podcast highlights the VETcert project (2016-2019), funded by the EU, which aimed to harmonize the recognition of skills and knowledge in veteran tree care by establishing a common minimum European standard. The project developed certification standards for two levels—practical and consultancy—accompanied by educational materials. These standards cover a broad range of topics, including identifying veteran trees and their value, risk management, and relevant legislation. VETcert sought to raise care standards for veteran trees across Europe and enhance worker mobility within the sector, resulting in an operational certification system in multiple European countries.
