According to the International Society of Arboriculture, some important questions you should be asking is when considering to hire an arborists:
- Is your arborists certified?
- Will your arborist be qualified? Meaning, he or she has taken TRAQ. Tree Risk Assesment Qualification. Certification is good but it only grants the use of a credential to individuals for a specific period of time. If an arborist is qualified he or she has been awarded for achievement of a narrow body of knowledge with very specific learning objectives. In essesnce look for certification as well as qualification.
\”This qualification promotes the safety of people and property by providing a standardized and systematic process for assessing tree risk. The results of a tree risk assessment can provide tree owners and risk managers with the information to make informed decisions to enhance tree benefits, health, and longevity.\”
