Consumers will have practical and viable means to identify qualified tree care companies that are credentialed and trustworthy in their business, arboriculture, safety standards and practices.

Safety will have measurably improved. Accident rates will have lowered.

The government will regularly seek the advice and counsel of TCIA as a source of industry standards and as a partner in legislation and regulation.

TCIA will have a measurable brand image as the voice of the tree care industry with members, government, consumers; and growing media awareness.

Associate Members will be partners with TCIA building stronger markets between consumers, accredited tree care companies, and other Associate Members.

Our mission is to advance tree care companies.

Established in 1938 as the National Arborist Association, today's TCIA is a trade association of more than 2,000 commercial tree care firms and affiliated companies.

TCIA accredits tree care companies, develops safety and education programs, establishes standards of tree care practice, and provides management information for arboriculture firms around the world.
