Careers

Arboriculture as an industry and a profession has become increasingly professional over the past few decades.  The results of this evolution are better outcomes for tree health and longevity, improved urban canopies, and better quality of life for clients, arborists, and their communities.
Leading industry organizations include the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the entity that certifies individual arborists based on their knowledge, skill and experience, and the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), the national trade association with a membership of over 1800 tree care firms and affiliated companies.  Teacher’s Tree Service is well-established at the forefront of professional arboriculture in Vermont;  our sales team and crew leaders include ISA Certified Arborists, and we earned TCIA accreditation in 2023.
