The New Hampshire Arborists Association (NHAA):
a non-profit organization of professional arborists working together to improve tree care practices in New Hampshire.
We promote responsible and progressive arboriculture practices through continuing education and communication between practitioners, educators, researchers, and other green industry professionals.

Why become a member of the NHAA? Our organization provides educational workshops for our members to keep them current with arboricultural research.

NHAA Certified Arborists
NHAA Certified Arborists are up-to-date on the latest in arboricultural technology and knowledgeable of acceptable arborist practices. They must pass a voluntary comprehensive exam and then maintain their certification through continuing education. We also encourage them to seek membership and certification in other professional arborist organizations such as the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA). Affiliation with industry organizations demonstrates a willingness to stay informed on the latest techniques and information.
