Healthy trees provide numerous benefits to your community. A way for homeowners to ensure their trees stay healthy is by hiring an arborist. Professional, trained arborists know how to properly maintain trees for the safety of the public, the usability of the surrounding space, and the health of the tree.
Trees are an investment that require proper tree care; however, pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.
What is a Certified Arborist?
The ISA arborist certification is a voluntary, non-governmental program that allows individuals to validate their knowledge base. This certification offers a quantifiable evaluation of a person’s understanding in the essential skills required for effective tree care.
When a professional becomes an ISA Certified Arborist, they should be recognized by their peers and the public as a tree care professional who has attained a generally-accepted level of knowledge in areas such as tree biology, diagnosis, maintenance practices, safety, and other subject and practice areas within the tree care profession.
