ISA offers a variety of educational materials and products to help arborists improve and showcase their arboricultural knowledge and experience. Every month we will feature a product or group of products. This month ISA is featuring Vinyl Vehicle Decals. 

The Arboriculture Research and Education Academy (AREA) offers competitive grants for students interested in attending and presenting at the ISA 2021 International Virtual Conference held 13-16 December 2021. This event is an opportunity to virtually network with like-minded individuals from around the world and learn about some of the newest arboriculture and urban forestry research and techniques.

Last month, ISA held its first ever Virtual Tree Climber’s Summit—presented by Husqvarna. During the summit, arborists from around the world submitted photos to the Arborists in Action Photo Contest, and the winner was randomly selected from the photos with the top votes from Summit attendees. Congratulations to Jacob McNeil, the winner, from California, and Philip Proshaka from Illinois, who received an honorable mention.
