| Who
We Are
The
Massachusetts Arborists Association (MAA) is a professional trade
organization that serves the commercial arboriculture industry.
The MAA advances the goals of its members through education, research
support, certification and promotion of the value of arboriculture
to the public.
Founded
in the late 1930s by leading tree care proponents, the Massachusetts
Arborists Association (MAA) is proud to be one of the oldest trade
associations in the nation. The MAA's membership now includes
over 850 of the state's leading arborists. In 1957, the MAA initiated
a voluntary certification program and established the Board of
Massachusetts Certified Arborists. The title "Massachusetts
Certified Arborist", through its comprehensive examination
and continuing education has become the symbol of tree care professionalism
in Massachusetts. Current
research and regulation in the arboriculture field has generated
an information "explosion". Many practices once thought appropriate
are now considered obsolete and in some cases, counter-productive.
Look to the MAA to keep you informed
and competitive with the latest in tree care, regulatory issues
and sound business practices. |
