The purpose of the ISA certification program is to improve the level of knowledge and standard of practice within the tree care profession. It is designed to assist the public in identifying those professionals in arboriculture (tree care) who have demonstrated, through a professionally developed examination and education program, a thorough knowledge of tree care practices.
"I am proud to be able to follow my years of knowledge in this industry with an ISA Arborist Certification, and be able to better serve the individual needs of Trees Plus clients,” said Mr. Morales.
The International Society of Arboriculture is a scientific and educational organization devoted to the dissemination of information in the care and preservation of shade and ornamental trees. ISA's certification program is designed to promote the professional development of those involved in the field of arboriculture tree care. When contracting for your tree care needs, contact individuals who are certified through this voluntary program.
