Today we discuss how Arborists care for trees, and what it means to become an ISA Certified Arborist, including how the certification may benefit you as a landscape professional, and how landscape consumers can benefit from seeking out a certified arborist. We cover how one becomes certified, and what the continuing education looks like. Tree Risk Assessment is an important function of a certified arborist and often results in saving trees. We also touch on a few outdated practices to be aware of, and we'll cover more tree health topics in future episodes. International Society of Arboriculture: https://www.isa-arbor.com/ TreesAreGood.org provides the public with educational information about the benefits of trees and how to properly care for trees in the urban environment.
