Arborists Training Program

The Fall 2022 Arborists Training Course is October 10-14 in Manhattan. Registration forms were mailed to all KAA members in late August. Registration is not available online due to popularity of the course. If you are interested in attending but have not obtained a form, contact Tim McDonnell. 

Due to cancellation of the course the last two years, priority is being given to practicing commercial and municipal arborists for participation. 



The Arborists Training Course was created to educate and train people who work with trees and is geared towards existing or potential tree maintenance workers. Tree board members, park managers, ground maintenance personnel, and administrators are also invited to attend this school to learn about proper tree care.

Attendance is limited, so register early! For more information, view the informational flyer.

Please note: The flyer may be used to request a registration form/application for the course.

Registration forms/applications are not available online due to the popularity of the course. Paper registration forms/ applications are mailed to all active members and interested parties approximately 6-8 weeks prior to the beginning of the course beginning. Registration forms/applications should be returned promptly to ensure a space is reserved. The course usually fills very quickly.
