The International Society of Arboriculture, is the certifying organization behind the ISA Certified Arborist. An additional certification that they offer is Tree Risk Assessment Qualified or TRAQ. In October, 2020, Emily underwent intensive training to prepare her to pass an exam to officially make her TRAQ qualified.
The certification allows Emily to apply a series measures to trees that property owners and utility companies are concerned about to determine their level of risk. The ISA way is structured, uniform and standardized, so that the final assessment is as intelligent as possible. Emily has formally applied her new knowledge to dozens of trees since being TRAQ qualified. Most assessments are finished with a written report, discussing the findings with the concerned party or parties.
Singing Tree is excited to add Tree Risk Assessments to our list of consultation resources. If you have a tree that concerns you, call Emily for a consultation.
