Your path to

“Certified LAA Member” describes LAA’s verification of membership license and insurance requirements. It is not the same as ISA Certified Arborist certification and does not replace state licensing.

COMMUNITY TREE PARTNERSHIP

Your expertise.
A safer community.

Learn about Community Tree’s mission ↗

Helping eligible Louisiana homeowners address hazardous trees.

Community Tree provides financial assistance for hazardous tree removal. Our partnership supports that mission by connecting the program with arborist providers whose license and insurance requirements have been verified by LAA.

LAA serves as the vetting organization; the arborist providers perform the tree work. Only Certified LAA Members are eligible to perform arborist jobs through this partnership. Participation is separate from joining LAA and does not guarantee a job assignment.
