what is a Master Arborist?
Seth McKenzie was originally certified as ISA Arborist in 1999 and has 21 years of experience working with trees in Boise. In 2020 he was certified as a Board Certified Master Arborist. Less than 3% of all Arborists internationally can claim this.
Seth has a deep affection for Idaho generally and Boise specifically. He believes the City of Trees should and can do better when it comes to caring for our trees and is committed to helping along those lines through a personal commitment to arboricultural excellence and also through lending a hand in a cooperative fashion with community leaders and other local Arborists.
