About MAA | Member Benefits | Quarterly Newsletter

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 arboriculture associations in the nation. The MAA's membership now includes more than 650 of the state's leading arborists.

MCA In 1957, the MAA initiated a voluntary certification program and established the Massachusetts Certified Arborists Examining Committee. The title "Massachusetts Certified Arborist", through its comprehensive examination and continuing education requirement 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. Read about our Member Benefits.
