About GFASTI
Georgians for a Safer Tree Industry (GFASTI) is a professional and trade association, organized as a 501(c)(6), for people and businesses in Georgia's tree care industry. Its work centers on worker safety, consumer protection, and professional standards.
Tree care is widely recognized as one of the most hazardous occupations in the country. GFASTI brings tree care professionals together to address those risks.
In the public record
In December 2024, a Georgia House study committee recommended licensing and regulation of the tree care industry, based on a draft proposed by GFASTI. See how we describe our advocacy.

Professional Standards
Tree care involves chippers, chainsaws, heights, falling timber, and electrical hazards. Training, proper equipment, and accountable business practices reduce those risks.
GFASTI encourages safety training and responsible practice, and points members to established national resources such as OSHA, the Tree Care Industry Association, and the International Society of Arboriculture on our resources page.
