SavATree, a company committed to environmentally sensible stewardship of valued residential and commercial properties, has been part of ISA's Canopy Partner program for the past four years.

The ISA Canopy Partners program is a collaborative initiative with industry leaders to better promote the professional practice of arboriculture, inform the public about the benefits of trees and provide a global network of arborists, urban foresters and people who care for trees.

SavATree's executive chairman Daniel van Starrenburg said the company's decision to join the program was an extension of their deep commitment to the science and stewardship of arboriculture.

"ISA's mission to advance the arboriculture profession through research, technology and education mirrors SavATree's commitment to evidence-based, sustainable tree care," van Starrenburg said. "Both organizations believe that well-informed arborists make better decisions for their clients, for public safety and for the environment."

It is the value placed on industry participation that van Starrenburg credits, in part, to SavATree's success in consistently winning the Tree Care Industry Association Safety Award since 2014 and in ranking in the 92nd percentile on the National Safety Council's employee safety culture survey.

Van Starrenburg said by engaging with organizations like ISA and TCIA, companies involved elevate standards—resulting in better-trained climbers, safer worksites and more informed clients. For SavATree, this value of participation also includes their dedication to local communities as well.

"SavATree's community presence extends beyond any single client engagement," van Starrenburg said. "We partner with municipalities, public gardens, historic landmarks and college campuses to maintain shared spaces that entire communities rely on. Our teams participate in school celebrations, food drives and Earth Day events. We show up as tree care professionals, but we care as neighbors."

Additionally, SavATree has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America in every market they have served since 2016, donating resources, volunteering and funding programs for the youth. At the branch level, teams lead community-rooted initiatives from hosting annual Arbor Day celebrations to organizing Thanksgiving food drives.

"Trees are inherently communal. They shade streets, anchor neighborhoods and outlive any single property owner," van Starrenburg said. "The work we do has meaning beyond the property line, and we think our relationships should too. When a SavATree team shows up for a school's Arbor Day event or helps stock a church food pantry, it reinforces that we're not just a service provider passing through. We're part of the fabric of the communities we work in. That trust, built over years of showing up, makes us better partners for our clients and better stewards of the landscapes we're entrusted to care for."
