Faller

Use axes or chainsaws to fell trees using knowledge of tree characteristics and cutting techniques to control direction of fall and minimize tree damage.

AI will likely introduce autonomous machinery for simpler felling tasks, potentially reducing the demand for manual fallers in those specific areas. For more complex or hazardous felling, AI will primarily augment fallers' capabilities by providing advanced risk assessment, optimal strategy recommendations, and enabling safer remote operations. This will shift the faller's role towards operating and managing sophisticated AI-powered tools and systems, rather than purely manual felling.
