Recently, TCIA’s own Bob Rouse hit the road with auditor trainees Rebecca Johnson and Mandi ...Wilson for a series of Accreditation and Loss Control visits. These hands-on experiences aren’t just valuable learning moments for our future auditors—they’re a vital part of how TCIA stays connected to the real-world challenges our members face every day. 💪🌳

Trees in our urban forest may present an unacceptable level of risk for the tree owner or manager. ...This is where an arborist trained in tree-risk assessment can identify the issues and provide mitigation options to reduce the risk to an acceptable level. As arborists, our goal is to provide solutions to conditions of concern with appropriate mitigation options, while avoiding removal when at all possible. There is a significant gap between removal and retaining a tree, and this gap is filled with arboriculture science and practice. When an arborist applies this science along with best practices, tree issues can be properly mitigated, satisfying the tree owner or manager and creating a longer-lived tree.

We asked about a dozen arborists if they had an example of a time when personal protective ...equipment (PPE) made or could have made a difference on the job. Check out their examples of when hard hats, safety glasses, chain-saw pants and more saved the day!
