A Compendium of Strategies - Prior to our incorporation, the Western Chapter ISA’s Chapter Directed research fund (aka the John Britton Memorial Fund) sponsored the printing of this valuable reference book. This compendium was developed to serve as a concise and comprehensive reference on the subject of tree and infrastructure conflicts. With up to date descriptions and assessments of methods used to reduce damage, this resource is intended to provide tree managers, planners and engineers with the information they need to create effective management plans. Reprinted in 2007, the popular publication is now available from the Britton Fund, Inc, website or Western Chapter ISA office.

Healthy Communities Campaign – The “Healthier Communities Grow on Trees Campaign” is a product of a proposition 40 grant from Cal Fire. The campaign includes 20 educational booths based on the benefits of trees to the community. As an arborist, you know that trees are good for your community. Now there’s an easy way for you to help spread the word and earn CEU’s while doing it! It’s as easy as one, two, tree...1. Find an event in your community such as a pancake breakfast, earth fair, or a farmer’s market. Check out a table top display from the Britton Fund, complete with brochures, and a prep kit to help you brush up on your tree facts. 3. Spread the word about the benefits of trees at your community event. We’ll even give you a couple of CEUs if you fill out an event report afterwards.
