2020 Recertification Update
Hello Tree Inspectors,
We hope that this message finds you well and in good health. This year has brought a lot of added stress to people’s personal and professional lives. Due to that added stress and potential travel constraints many of you are facing, we are reducing the 2020 recertification requirement to one hour of continuing education.
We are working to develop a new remote recertification option to help folks recertify on their own time. This online recertification option will be made available on September 8th, 2020 and must be completed by December 31st, 2020. You will be able to register for this online course at http://www.mntreeinspector.com/.
This reduction in continuing education requirement is only being reduced for the calendar year 2020. In 2021, recertification requirements will remain at six hours of continuing education.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we chart the best way forward.
All the best,
Ryan Murphy, University of Minnesota

MN Tree Inspector Program Survey
The purpose of the survey is to help keep the training workshops and certification program current and pertinent to the issues that each and every community in Minnesota is addressing.
Although our last survey was conducted in 2016, a lot has impacted urban trees in Minnesota: the further spread of emerald ash borer, bur oak blight, the decline in the health of maples, and the continuing issues with spruce and some of the pines. So it seems like a good time to get your opinions and observations again. Thanks for helping.
