RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Establishing A Local Arborists’ Association JF Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO JOA FD International Society of Arboriculture SP 221 OP 224 DO 10.48044/jauf.1990.050 VO 16 IS 8 A1 Guy A. LeBlanc A1 Dennis K. Brown YR 1990 UL http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/16/8/221.abstract AB A local arborists’ association can provide additional benefits to arborists also belonging to national and state organizations, especially in large states. It also benefits the general public in its community, and ultimately the trees in the community’s urban forest, by increasing awareness of the value of trees and of currently accepted arboricultural techniques. For such an organization to achieve its goals, it is necessary to create a set of guidelines for members and to have methods for recruiting members, raising funds, and informing the general public.
