Karma Tenzin

Consulting Arborist | Researcher | PhD (Forest Ecology)

​

My passion for trees began in the forests of Bhutan and has grown into a career spanning forest research, ecological science, and arboricultural consulting. Before moving to Australia, I spent over ten years as a Forest Researcher with government research institutions in Bhutan, undertaking research on forest ecology, tree growth, climate adaptation, forest health, and sustainable forest management.

​

In 2024, I completed a PhD in Forest Ecology at the University of Melbourne, where my research examined the influence of climate and fire on tree growth using tree-ring science. This research strengthened my understanding of tree biology, growth processes, and the factors influencing tree health and resilience.

​

As a Consulting Arborist with Greenwood Consulting, I combine scientific knowledge with practical arboricultural experience to provide evidence-based advice for planning, development, and tree management. My work includes arboricultural impact assessments, tree protection plans, tree risk assessments, development applications, construction supervision, and urban tree management.

​

My experience across government research, ecological assessment, and arboricultural consulting enables me to bridge the gap between science and practice. I enjoy working with councils, developers, architects, engineers, and private clients to develop practical solutions that protect and retain trees while supporting sustainable development.

​

I believe that trees are among our most valuable environmental assets, contributing to healthier, more resilient, and liveable communities. I am committed to delivering practical, independent, and scientifically informed arboricultural advice that helps clients achieve the best possible outcomes for both trees and development.
