ISA is committed to offering students opportunities to get involved with professional arboriculture through ISA, local chapters and our professional affiliates.

Arboricultural Research and Education Academy (AREA)

The Arboricultural Research and Education Academy (AREA) was established to promote scientific literacy and further the knowledge and understanding of new technology as it relates to arboricultural practices. Members are scientists and educators in all tree-related disciplines working toward the scientific understanding of woody plants and their care. AREA coordinates educational sessions at the ISA Annual Conference to encourage communication and collaboration among scientists, educators, students, and others working in arboriculture and urban forestry. A quarterly newsletter provides an effective means of disseminating knowledge and information among AREA’s diverse membership.
