What if entering the tree care industry didn’t feel like starting from scratch — but stepping onto a path with purpose? 🌿 That’s exactly what industry leaders like August Hoppe are working toward, helping create a future where aspiring arborists don’t just find a job, they build a career. The arborist apprenticeship model is laying down the groundwork — providing structure, training, and a clear roadmap forward. It's about elevating the profession, investing in the next generation, and showing that arboriculture is more than just hard work in the trees... it’s a skilled trade with real growth, real opportunity, and real support. 🌳🔧 Check out how this movement is taking shape — and why it might be one of the most important steps our industry can take.

When Paul Scharfenberger stepped into his role as Training and Development Specialist at Wachtel Tree Science, he brought with him 27 years of experience, including two decades as a crew leader. His transition into a full-time training role marked a significant shift for the company, which had previously only dedicated part-time resources to structured training. Now, with the implementation of the Tree Care Academy (TCA) Training Hub, Paul is spearheading a new approach to employee development that draws on TCIA’s expertise in training and technology. https://hubs.li/Q03h0gvk0

While safety is always a priority, arboriculture is performed in a high-hazard environment, and every day requires thousands of decisions with incomplete information. What does that tree part weigh? How much decay is present? How strong is that tie-in point (TIP)? Unfortunately, human beings are prone to mistakes – both mental and physical – and these mistakes sometimes result in property damage, injury or even death.
