Friendly crew & on-staff ISA certified arborists provide speedy answers to your gear questions
WesSpur stocks ISA CEUs (Continuing Education Units) which are great training resources and good for continuing education credits for ISA certified arborists. We also stock the ISA Best Management Practices which are companion booklets for the ANSI Standards regarding tree care. These are meant to be “how to” manuals that reflect the best practices in the industry in compliance with national standards. If you are a tech-savy tree climber, then check out the ISA Introduction to Arboriculture courses on CD. Knowledge is power and you'll find lots here.
