TCIA Accreditation: TreeWorks moves and preserves historic and notable trees

摘要

Aove of tree-climbing, engineering and artistic expression led Bill de Vos to a lifelong passion for trees and tree preservation. An ISA Certified Arborist, registered consulting arborist and NJ Certified Tree Expert, de Vos, started his first tree care business, Ramapo Valley Tree Surgeons, in New Jersey in 1974. The same year, he joined the National Arborist Association, which later became TCIA. "My first meeting was when Dr. Alex Shigo rolled out his 'Compartmentalization of Decay in Trees' theory," de Vos says. "I was fascinated as well as hooked forever." de Vos sold the company when he moved to Vermont in 1978 to attend the University of Vermont, but stayed in tree care.
