Grow the Industry
Advance policies that support healthy trees and communities, strengthen grassroots engagement, and ensure the tree care industry’s voice is heard at every level of government.
The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) is a trade association of 1,700 tree care firms and affiliated companies worldwide and was established in 1938 as the National Arborist Association.
Our mission is to advance tree care businesses. TCIA develops safety and education programs, standards of tree care practice and management information for tree and landscape firms around the world. We provide continuing education, training, conferences and publications to promote the safe and appropriate practice of tree care.
Since 1938, TCIA has been working to elevate the standards of commercial and utility tree care. TCIA supports, promotes and educates our members so that they may be more successful in their activities and the environment in which we live will be significantly improved.
