For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

I presented on this topic at TCI EXPO ’24 in Baltimore, where I had a great audience and received excellent feedback. When I started working on that presentation, I realized we had never really addressed language and cultural barriers for our tree workers.

BY NOEL BOYER As I visit with my tree friends in person and online, I often hear of the challenges we all face as we work to keep our customers happy and our team safe. There are a lot of important pieces to our safety programs, including training, equipment inspections and maintenance and documentation.

BY KOREY CONRY, CTSP There are many aspects to being a successful trainer, but for the sake of this article, we are going to focus on just one: building and presenting effective PowerPoint presentations. Remember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .
BY JIM KASPER How did your tree-work journey begin? Did you grow up in the midst of arboriculture, a member of a family team? Did you, like me, stumble upon men swinging – precariously! Wildly! How are they doing that? – far above you as you passed them on the street? Maybe you simply needed a job and answered an ad in a local listing.

BY CRAIG BACHMANN, BCMA, CTSP, TRAQ The goal of “zero incidents” is an impossible standard. As a profession, we have promoted this concept, but it is simply not realistic. While safety is always a priority, arboriculture is performed in a high-hazard environment, and every day requires thousands of decisions with incomplete information.

BY SARA DREISER AND RICH ALEXANDER On December 31, 2024, a man in Massachusetts barricaded himself in his house after shooting at a line-clearance crew with a high-powered air rifle. The crew was working down the road from his house, with no direct connection to his property. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…

BY DON STARUK We asked about a dozen arborists, all of whom have been contributors to TCI Magazine at one time or another, if they had an example of a time when personal protective equipment (PPE) made or could have made a difference on the job. Could they briefly recount a time when PPE saved the day? Or when the lack of it cost or nearly cost someone an injury, or worse? Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…
BY LINDSEY PURCELL, BCMA Conditions of concern may be defined as tree issues that the client and arborist perceive as unacceptable. In my experience, they usually fall into one or more of three categories. Typically, it is about structure, clearance and appearance. (Photo 1) Our task, as arborists, is providing solutions to these issues. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…
BY DAVID M. ANDERSON, CTSP Looking back to my high school years, I realize that although I had passion, I was not the strongest student and lacked direction upon graduation. I was lucky enough to see a job ad for a small company as I started my professional career. The company was Olde Colonial Tree and Landscape, and the owner was Jay Ippolito.

BY EDWARD MORROW You’ve seen it – improper pruning, unforgiving topping, suffocating mulch volcanoes; it’s 2025, like, why do we still see mulch volcanoes? And if you talk to enough property owners, you may hear mountains of tree myths and misconceptions. What’s an arborist to do? In this article, we’ll climb into another facet of tree care: urban-forestry education. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…
BY SUSAN DIPIETRO TCIA offers two scholarships for travel and related expenses for women in the industry to attend TCI EXPO and take part in the Women in Tree Care (WITC) Pre-Conference Workshop held there each year.

BY RICK HOWLAND You may know the name Ash Connelly. If you don’t, you will. She is arguably one of the fastest up-and-coming young guns in tree care. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .
BY TIM BARTELT Human nature tells us to give of ourselves and to give back to our community. Your company vehicles probably drive by a dozen places every day where people could benefit from your giving. And chances are, your kids or your neighbors’ kids are those people. We’re talking about the local high schools – both vocational/technical schools or general education. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…
BY NOEL BOYER, BCMA, CTSP We all know how hard it is to find good help right now. While hiring great help is a challenge, it’s just the first part of building a great staff. Your company is probably a mix of experienced help, untrained new hires and everything in between. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…

BY TAMSIN VENN A passion for tree climbing and supportive, on-the-job training led Jenny Rexroad to her dream job as climber and crew chief at Madison Tree Care & Landscaping in Milford, Ohio, where she has worked since March 2019. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…
BY KATHY GLASSEY Pesticides are an essential tool in protecting plants from harmful pests, diseases and weeds. It’s crucial that those involved in the production, distribution and application of pesticides understand the importance of adhering to regulatory standards. In this article, I’ll explain why compliance isn’t just a legal requirement, but a key part to ensuring safety, environmental protection and the long-term success of your business and the industry.

BY LUKE SCHEBERL Soil organic matter (SOM) is one of the most critical components of a healthy urban soil. While it is often a small component (<8%) of soil, it influences nearly every aspect of that soil’s ability to support tree health. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…

1 Factors & Forces: Identification of Structural Defects in Trees for Implementing Safe Work Plans 13:37
BY ROBERT J. LAVERNE, PH.D.; ALEX JULIUS, BCMA; AND TIM BUSHNELL, CTSP Climbing arborists and tree workers rely on the structural strength and stability of a tree’s branches, trunk and roots to support their weight and the forces associated with rigging operations.

BY LINDSEY PURCELL It’s tough out there for trees, especially when they are trying to survive in the “un-natural” urban forests where we live. Trees tend to grow well on more natural, undisturbed sites like arboreal areas, but there is nothing natural about the built environment. Trees planted in suburban and urban areas require supplementary care and maintenance to keep them thriving and not just surviving. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…
BY ZACH SHIER, BCMA Soil and foliar sampling are not exactly a new science, nor are they new ideas in the world of arboriculture. However, it is my opinion that they are still underutilized or underemphasized in the field. As practicing arborists, we must use all the tools at our disposal to not only provide good service to our customers, but also to do our best to improve tree health. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…
BY SCOTT CARLSON, BCMA Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. We have all heard it. I believe it. I am an aging arborist in Iowa. Like a lot of us seasoned “tree guys,” I have followed a familiar path. As I got older and less agile in the trees, I focused on selling.

BY JEREMIAH SANDLER, BCMA I’ve had a number of consultations in Pleasant Ridge, a small community with many mature oak and early veteran trees, after a hollow tree failed onto someone’s house (nobody was injured). Around the same time, another oak nearby had a significant failure that totaled a neighboring garage. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…
BY EDWARD MORROW Financial jargon coupled with astronomical numbers. All splattered across a piece of paper or computer screen. What is this?! Your anxiety surges out of control. It’s just an income statement – profit and loss statement, or P&L for short. If we could just, maybe, alter this financial statement a tad. Just to condense it, to make it just a little more understandable. Image is everything – and all financial information can be grasped with the right financial presentation.

BY BILL OWEN, CTSP Arborists are practicality driven; we recognize what works and then incorporate best practices into our processes. With our industry’s spirit of innovation, we have seen major improvements year over year as our techniques and technologies evolve. As rapidly as we have seen innovation in field operations, we also have enhanced our ability to run our businesses. As such, we recognize management as a pathway to continuous improvement.

BY BRIAN LEDONNE In the tree-service industry, particularly for TCIA members, the challenges of managing a successful business extend beyond physical labor and service quality. The digital landscape can feel overwhelming, with countless tools and platforms that demand your time and attention. In this article, we’ll look at a five-step approach, “The Foundation,” tailored specifically for tree care professionals to address these challenges.

BY MICHAEL ROCHE “Is a peer-to-peer group right for you?” That’s a question many business owners might want to consider, because, after gaining enough information on the topic, many owners will see that having regularly scheduled meetings with fellow business owners can be one of the most valuable things you can do for the growth, safety, profitability and general enjoyment of your business.

BY RICK HOWLAND For this article, we talked with end-users who pretty much agree that successful implementation of customer relationship management (CRM) software comes after many steps accompanied by diligence, time and sometimes frustration. But – and it’s a very large but – all say the journey is well worth it. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…
BY ANDY FELIX Do you know – really know – that your business is making money? If you know it for a fact and have no doubt your business is making money, and are comfortable with the percentage of profit your company achieves, there is no reason to read this article. However, if you “think” you’re making money or are not quite sure if you are, please read on. Rember to subscribe to TCI Magazine by visiting tcimag.tcia.org .…
BY EDWARD MORROW You’ve either read about it or experienced it firsthand. If you find yourself in a room full of elite climbers – they may be from different places and use different climbing hitches and gear – one thing is common: They usually light up when the subject swings over to SRS climbing. Stationary-rope systems increase ascension speed and facilitate more ergonomic work positioning. But is it possible to take an SRS approach to business and personal growth?
