ISA Certification
ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ)
What It Means
ISA TRAQ certification qualifies an arborist to conduct professional tree risk assessments. This credential ensures proper evaluation of tree hazards using the ANSI A300 standard, allowing for accurate identification of risk without unnecessary removal.
Why It Matters
Many trees are removed unnecessarily because they haven't been properly assessed. TRAQ certification means we can diagnose actual risk versus perceived risk, saving trees that could live for decades and protecting your property through informed decision-making.
