Tree Care Industry Association

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.

The Tree Care Industry Association Foundation (TCIAF) is dedicated to advancing the green industry through educational, safety, and professional development programs. Learn more about our mission and what you can do to help improve safety in the tree care industry.

Accreditation is a business growth program that gives tree care companies tools to strengthen their businesses and help construct a successful future. The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) is a trade association of 2,300 tree care firms and affiliated companies worldwide and was established in 1938 as the National Arborist Association.

TCIA's Certified Treecare Safety Professional (CTSP) program is the only safety credentialing program in the industry and is designed to address several of the safety challenges that tree care companies face. Because your employers are ineligible for TCIA membership, the CTSP program extends TCIA member pricing to you for enrollment and certification workshops as a professional courtesy. This program provides you with a well-rounded education in safety concepts, plus the tools needed to effectively communicate on the job site.

The TCIA app will keep you informed of all the latest news and will keep you in touch with other app users throughout the year. It will be your digital guide for many TCIA events, including TCI EXPO, Winter Management Conference and the Executive Arborist Workshop.

It's easy to get started - just search for "TCIA" by Pinxter in the App Store or Google Play.

The association has been helping tree care companies grow and keep employees safe since our founding. With more than 2,000 members to date, TCIA is grateful for the loyal commitment of our commercial tree care firms and affiliated companies who have stood by us throughout the years. After all, your history is our history. Anniversaries are celebrated in a number of ways and for a variety of purposes. A wedding anniversary can honor a commitment of decades and provide the opportunity to reflect upon the curves, bumps and hills overcome along the journey.
