Tree Service & COVID 19

Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and the International Society of Arborists (ISA) have published they types of tree companies that can still operate during the Covid-19 Crisis. Tree services across the country were left in confusion about whether they are essential or non-essential. As our industry is a niche. The two groups released a joint statement saying a.ll safety related tree work orders are deemed an essential business activity. This includes the protection of infrastructure, protection against the spread of invasive and/or injurious pests or maintaining the public safety of our communities.

Types of Tree Services the are Essential:

• Protection of infrastructure would be removal or trimming of trees that affect utility lines, public transportation like roads and bridges.
• Maintaining public safety would be the removal or trimming of trees any houses, infrastructures or businesses near them.
• Treating trees of infectious diseased and pests. This is vital because the spread of these diseases can be catastrophic to the tree population.
