The Massachusetts Tree Wardens’ and Foresters’ Association was founded in 1913 as a forum for municipal tree managers to share their concerns and to promote the preservation of public shade trees. Today’s members include tree wardens, city foresters, utility representatives, commercial arborists and companies, education professionals, and citizen tree advocates. Membership is open to all who care about trees. Download a membership enrollment brochure. On the brochure, please note that the Tree Wardens Handbook is not available for purchase at the present time, even though an order form is included in the brochure.
Please note that the Tree Wardens Handbook, Eighth Edition is currently out of stock and awaiting revision. Please contact us by sending us an email so that we can update you when it becomes available.
