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.

What if entering the tree care industry didn’t feel like starting from scratch — but stepping onto a path with purpose? 🌿 That’s exactly what industry leaders like August Hoppe are working toward, helping create a future where aspiring arborists don’t just find a job, they build a ...career.
The arborist apprenticeship model is laying down the groundwork — providing structure, training, and a clear roadmap forward. It's about elevating the profession, investing in the next generation, and showing that arboriculture is more than just hard work in the trees... it’s a skilled trade with real growth, real opportunity, and real support. 🌳🔧
Check out how this movement is taking shape — and why it might be one of the most important steps our industry can take.

While safety is always a priority, arboriculture is performed in a high-hazard environment, and every day requires thousands of decisions with incomplete information. What does that tree part weigh? How much decay is present? How strong is that tie-in point (TIP)? Unfortunately, human beings are ...prone to mistakes – both mental and physical – and these mistakes sometimes result in property damage, injury or even death.
