Our Mission
Improving safety, promoting responsible practice, and protecting consumers across Georgia's tree care industry.
Improving industry safety
Tree care workers face falls, falling timber, equipment hazards, and electrical contact. We support practices that reduce those risks.
Promoting responsible business practices
Reliable companies benefit when the whole industry holds itself to clear expectations.
Supporting professional licensing initiatives
GFASTI supports licensing and regulation of the industry, and proposed a draft that a Georgia House study committee considered in 2024.
Encouraging proper training
Training saves lives. We encourage companies to invest in it and point to established training resources.
Protecting consumers
Property owners should be able to hire a tree care company knowing what safeguards are in place.
Strengthening Georgia's arboriculture industry
A safer industry is a stronger one for workers, businesses, and communities.
