Certified arborist reports can only be written by arborists who have been certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). The certification process consists of rigorous testing and continuing education requirements. In the Urban Forest Pro blog, we’ll produce content that reflects our arborists’ deep experience, tree care expertise, and tree service certifications. Certification matters because it gives property owners some assurance that they’ve partnered with qualified arborists. Other topics on this blog will point to UFP’s operational expertise and its tree care procedures, including the fact that UFP sends an ISA-certified arborist to every job site. (We’re one of the only Portland tree service companies to do so.) Urban Forest Pro also offers a full suite of tree services, including tree pruning, tree planting, tree removal, and stump grinding. When Portland and Vancouver residents and businesses are searching for information about certified arborist reports, we want them to always turn to the UFP blog as the only place for tree care information they’ll ever need. We also hope that after reading the blog, people will contact Urban Forest Pro with any questions. As part of our company’s outreach efforts, this blog will encourage homeowners and property owners to partner with us for all their tree care needs.
