Arborist Pledge

The National Arborist Association, Inc.

As members of the National Arborist Association, we strive to uphold the honor and dignity of our profession and improve the quality of life through increasing our knowledge and skills in the management of the trees, shrubs and other landscape plants entrusted to our care. We recognize that the air we breathe, our pure drinking water, the aesthetic pleasure of landscape beauty, the sounds we hear, even all the earth, are dependent on and profoundly affected by healthy trees, shrubs and other landscape plants.

Further, we will strive to upgrade the standards of arboriculture and encourage others to follow our principles. We will conduct ourselves in a fair and just manner in dealing with the public, our employees, and our fellow arborists. We will work constantly in increase the esteem and nurture the acceptance of arboriculture as a profession, for the betterment of our society and the world.
