Monthly Virtual Training:

Introduction to the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ)

January 14th 6:15-7:30 pm. with Dave Long, GFC

1 ISA CEU 

Is my tree safe? Sometime trees, like most living beings, can look outwardly healthy while containing a host of defects. Other times they may look like they're in bad shape but continue to thrive for decades. Unlike other living beings, dying or unhealthy trees can put people and property at great risk. Join Dave Long, arborist and urban forester for the Georgia Forestry Commission, and learn how to identify the basic signs of tree risk on your property, jobsite, or in your community. Note, this webinar does not qualify one to perform TRAQ assessments professionally but is an intro to the field of tree risk assessments. 

Who should attend this webinar? 

• individuals looking to advance their arborist career
• individuals interested in taking the TRAQ course, but not sure if it is right for them
• anyone who is not familiar with Risk Assessments or what the ISA TRAQ Course entails.
