How to Locate a Qualified Arborist?
When in doubt about questions of tree care or health, contact a certified arborist, your county Extension Agent or Trees Atlanta. Consult the City of Atlanta arborist webpage for further information inside city limits. To find an ISA-Certified Arborist, check online at International Society of Aboriculture or call 217.355.9411. The Georgia Forestry Commission also maintains a list of consulting urban foresters who can evaluate the health of trees on your property for a small fee. Remember that good care and preventive maintenance is the best way to ensure the health and longevity of your beautiful trees. How To Become An Arborist? Your local commercial tree firm is always looking for qualified, energetic arborists. Municipal governments, botanical gardens and arboretums also hire arborists to care for their valuable trees. Call one of these groups to inquire about an entry-level position. For more information, go to the National Arborist Association website.
