ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ)

TRAQ is a qualification offered by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) that certifies arborists in the specialized practice of tree risk assessment. This qualification involves evaluating trees for potential hazards, such as structural weaknesses or disease, that could pose a risk to people or property. TRAQ-certified arborists are trained to use standardized methods to assess tree risk and recommend appropriate mitigation measures, such as pruning, cabling, or removal. For clients, working with a TRAQ-qualified arborist provides assurance that tree risk will be evaluated by a knowledgeable professional who can make informed recommendations to enhance safety and preserve valuable trees.
