Arboriculture: A Path to International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Licensure

1 unit

Trees play a vitally significant role in the overall ecosystem of our planet. They function both globally as well as microscopically. There are finite, quantifiable aspects to how a tree develops, yet there are also environmental and human factors that can disturb or interrupt normal functions and patterns. With climate change, arborists are playing a more significant role than ever. Most municipalities now require arborist surveys and tree mitigation or preservation plans. To become a certified arborist, one must work towards taking the licensing exam. This course will follow the ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) manual step-by-step to lead students on a path to take the licensure exam, if so desired.
