Bill,
The International Society of Arboriculture has a Certified Arborist program.
This program is voluntary on the part of the arborist. Anyone that can pass the
all day 10 part test has a basic understanding of good tree care, safety,
insects and disease.
However, there is no guarantee that a I.S.A. Certified Arborist will not abuse
your trees or be involved in unethical business practices. Check them out at
your Better Business Bureau.
For information about tree care and how to locate a Certified Arborist near you
go to the International Society of Arboriculture web site @

=============================================
Dan, I seem to recall that there is an association of arborists that
provides some kind of certification of its members. Is this correct? If
so, what should we look for when we need tree work?
