ISA has made the difficult decision to cancel our in-person 2020 ISA Annual International Conference and Trade Show slated for 15-17 December 2020. The safety and well-being of our attendees, members, employees, partners and vendors remains our top priority. This decision was made due to recent developments in COVID-19 cases, the restrictions placed by public health officials on large gatherings through 2020 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the overall climate surrounding travel and meetings.

The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Cecil Konijnendijk as the new Editor-in-Chief of Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF).
