To qualify as an ISA Certified Arborist®, an experienced plant health care professional must pass an extensive examination developed by an international panel of experts in the industry and academia. The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) maintains this voluntary certification program.
The education program does not stop with testing. An ISA Certified Arborist must keep abreast of new technology by attending seminars and reviewing the latest publications to obtain necessary continuing education credits.
In today’s fragile environment, an ISA Certified Arborist can maintain your landscape and help you preserve the aesthetic and ecological value of your trees and shrubs.
Not all arboriculture firms have ISA Certified Arborists on their staff. When choosing a tree care firm, do not hesitate to ask any prospective arborist to see their ISA Certification Identification Card.
