Arboriculture Services
The Morris Arboretum’s Urban Forestry consultants provide services to municipalities and institutions mainly in
the Philadelphia tri-state area. The team consists of an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Board Certified
Master Arborist, an Urban Forestry Technician, and an Urban Forestry Fellow. The fees generated by the urban
forestry consulting team directly support Morris Arboretum’s mission of education, research, and outreach.
Please note that we do not work for individual residential clients unless an arborist requests our tree diagnostic
