The ABCs of Arborists

From A to Z, this playful alphabet book turns the world of arboriculture into a story kids can enjoy and grown-ups will instantly recognize.

Each letter introduces a core concept of tree care, from your friendly Arborist and Bark to Xylem, Yellowing, and the careful Zone of Danger. Along the way, young readers will discover a tree's Canopy, Dead Wooding, Girdling, Keystone Species', Quercus, and much more. With simple language, witty nods to jobsite realities, and a love for all things leafy, it is a fast, fun read that doubles as a surprisingly sharp primer on what arborists actually do all day.

Perfect as a gift for tree care professionals, climbers, and anyone who has ever had a strong opinion about Topping or Over Pruning, this is an ABCs book with just enough truth to make you laugh — and just enough Mulch to make you groan.
