This unique online training will help you learn more about trees, about people, and about serving in a citizen advisory role in your city, town, or village.
​There are eight courses you can take at your own pace—we expect you’ll spend between 2 and 5 hours on each one. After you complete one course, you will have access to the next one, but you can return to the previous completed ones if you would like to review anything. Each course includes videos, multi-media presentations, reference documents, and online links to additional information. Upon completion of the eight courses, you will be able to join an online social networking community, where you can post questions and interact with other like-minded Tree Boards.
Learn about new technology, arborists in the news, and the latest research findings with your choice of print subscriptions to either Arborist News magazine or Arboriculture & Urban Forestry.
​The International Society of Arboriculture is a worldwide network of tree care professionals actively engaged in their own personal and professional development, that of their companies and employees, and the entire arboriculture industry. Membership in ISA provides you with opportunities for personal and professional growth and connects you to other professionals with similar needs, career goals, and interest in advancing the arboricultural profession.
