Are you interested in becoming a certified Arborist? Foresters with the University of Arkansas' Division of Agriculture work closely with the Arkansas Urban Forestry Council (AUFC) and other organizations to design and deliver workshops that will help you meet your continuing education requirements. The AUFC also provides information about the International Society of Arboriculture and their Certified Arborist program.
An Arborist is someone who specializes in urban or community forest management. They often have forestry degrees or specialized training. Certification is one way to demonstrate a certain level of professionalism.
Certification is a voluntary program providing recognition of one's professional knowledge by one's peers. International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborist recognition is given by the ISA to those who:
Certification builds an individual's self-image. By studying for and passing the exam, individuals reaffirm to themselves and their peers a thorough knowledge and dedication to arboriculture. Certification affords the public and those in government the opportunity to make an informed selection of services based on the knowledge which is represented by the Certification designation. The process of becoming Certified and maintaining the designation provides incentives to the individual to continue his/her on-going professional development. Certification is a tool to help the employer both in training their personnel and selecting new employees.
To find a certified Arborist in your area, go to http://www.isa-arbor.com/ to search by zip code.
