Resources for Hiring a Tree Care Professional
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) recommends using the Tree Care Registry to begin your search for tree care companies. All tree care providers including companies and persons that provide tree care or trimming services and/or who remove trees, limbs, branches, brush or shrubs for hire in Minnesota are required by state statute to register with the MDA. If you cannot find a specific provider on this list, they are not registered as a Tree Care Service in Minnesota.
In addition to checking the Tree Care Registry, there are additional steps you can take to ensure that a service provider is properly licensed and insured. Visit the University of Minnesota Extension page for more information on hiring a tree care company.
Whether hiring a tree care professional or performing the work yourself, MDA recommends following the Best Management Practices for EAB.
