Through research, technology, and education, the
International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) promotes the professional practice
of arboriculture and fosters a greater worldwide awareness of the benefits of
trees.
According to the ISA, an arborist, by definition, is an
individual trained in the art and science of planting, caring for, and
maintaining individual trees. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of
trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care. Hiring an arborist
is a decision that should not be taken lightly.
Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to
substantial returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add
considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a
significant liability. 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?
Certified Arborists are individuals who have achieved a
level of knowledge in the art and science of tree care through experience and
by passing a comprehensive examination developed by some of the nation’s
leading experts on tree care. Certified Arborists must also continue their
education to maintain their certification and adhere to a Code of Ethics.
Therefore, they are more likely to be up to date on the latest techniques in
arboriculture.
Becoming an ISA Certified Arborist is a voluntary process
through which individuals can measure their knowledge and competence required
to provide proper tree care. ISA Certification is not government-sponsored or
government-endorsed; it is administered by the International Society of
Arboriculture as a way for tree care professionals to demonstrate their
commitment to the profession and the industry.

(MA-4663A) and is a proud member of the ISA.
