Manitoba Recognizes Arboriculture as a Trade | Winnipeg News
Description
Manitoba just made arboriculture an official trade—big news for tree experts across the province. With no formal standards before, this move fills a critical gap as cities like Winnipeg ramp up urban forestry efforts and battle pests like the emerald ash borer. It’s paving the way for structured training, mentorship, and certification, bringing safety and professionalism to a field long lumped in with landscaping. The journey began in 2019 with the Manitoba Urban Forestry Council pushing for change, and while full apprenticeship programs won’t be ready for at least two more years, this recognition is a major step toward attracting talent and eventually shaping national standards for tree care.
