In this special Arbor Day episode of Talking Trees, we shine a light on the role of consulting arborists and the importance of the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA) in shaping the arboricultural profession.
We discuss:
- The differences between arborists, certified arborists, and consulting arborists, focusing on training, experience, and responsibilities
- What it means to be a Registered Consulting Arborist® (RCA)—a designation earned through advanced education, peer review, and ethical standards
- ASCA’s mission to support education, communication, and excellence in tree consulting
- How consulting arborists provide objective, science-based assessments critical to tree preservation, urban planning, and risk management
- The significance of Arbor Day as a celebration of trees and the professionals who protect them
This episode honours the technical expertise and advisory role of consulting arborists—and the trees they help save every day.
